Vulnerabilities 3
-
Critical 9.2
node-tar: Decompression/parse DoS via unlimited input
node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.19, node-tar does not enforce hard upper bounds on total decompressed data, entry counts, or decompression ratio in extraction and parsing paths such as src/extract.ts, allowing a small …

High 8.7
node-tar: Negative tar entry size causes infinite loop in archive replace
node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.18, tar.replace accepts a checksum-valid tar header with a negative base-256 encoded entry size, causing the archive scanner to make no progress while repeatedly parsing the same header.…

High 7.7
brace-expansion: DoS via exponential-time expansion of consecutive non-expanding {} groups
brace-expansion through 5.0.6 is vulnerable to denial of service. The expand() function exhibits exponential-time complexity in the number of consecutive non-expanding '{}' brace groups. An attacker who passes a crafted string to expand(), directly or transit…
