GNU Tar Invalid Headers Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

GNU Tar is prone to a buffer overflow when handling invalid headers. Successful exploitation could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution, but this has not been confirmed.

Tar 1.14 through 1.15.90 are affected; other versions may also be vulnerable.
