  "details": "A flaw was found in tar. A remote attacker could exploit this\nvulnerability by crafting a malicious archive, leading to hidden file\ninjection with fully attacker-controlled content. This bypasses\npre-extraction inspection mechanisms, potentially allowing an attacker\nto introduce malicious files onto a system without detection.\nThis update fixes the reported issue.\n",
