A fix is available — apply it.

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.

Frequently asked(5)

What is CVE-2025-13462?
CVE-2025-13462 is a critical vulnerability published on March 12, 2026. The "tarfile" module would still apply normalization of AREGTYPE (\x00) blocks to DIRTYPE, even while processing a multi-block member such as GNUTYPELONGNAME or GNUTYPELONGLINK. This could result in a crafted tar archive being misinterpreted by the tarfile module compared to other implementations.
When was CVE-2025-13462 disclosed?
CVE-2025-13462 was first published in the National Vulnerability Database on March 12, 2026, with the most recent update on June 17, 2026. EchelonGraph re-ingests CVE updates from NVD on a 2-hour cycle, so this page reflects the latest published state.
Is CVE-2025-13462 actively exploited?
CVE-2025-13462 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 0% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, which ranks it in the top 94.0% of all scored CVEs.
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2025-13462?
