Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-13462

low Nessus Plugin ID 302190

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- The tarfile module would still apply normalization of AREGTYPE (\x00) blocks to DIRTYPE, even while processing a multi-block member such as GNUTYPE_LONGNAME or GNUTYPE_LONGLINK. This could result in a crafted tar archive being misinterpreted by the tarfile module compared to other implementations.
(CVE-2025-13462)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
