PERTAIN_TOReport

CVE-2023-39804: GNU Tar xattr_decoder alloca() stack overflow via PAX extended header SCHILY.xattr value

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Tension: attacker-controlled sizes from PAX extended headers. Outcome: triggering a SIGSEGV/stack exhaustion.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

xattr_decoder (struct tar_stat_info *st, char const *keyword, char const *arg, size_t size). Tension: xheader_xattr_add makes its own copy of arg, no need to alloca xstr.
