Improper Input Validation, Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Commons Compress in TAR parsing.This issue affects Apache Commons Compress: from 1.22 before 1.24.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.24.0, which fixes the issue.
A third party can create a malformed TAR file by manipulating file modification times headers, which when parsed with Apache Commons Compress, will cause a denial of service issue via CPU consumption.
In version 1.22 of Apache Commons Compress, support was added for file modification times with higher precision (issue # COMPRESS-612 [1]). The format for the PAX extended headers carrying this data consists of two numbers separated by a period [2], indicating seconds and subsecond precision (for example “1647221103.5998539”). The impacted fields are “atime”, “ctime”, “mtime” and “LIBARCHIVE.creationtime”. No input validation is performed prior to the parsing of header values.
Parsing of these numbers uses the BigDecimal [3] class from the JDK which has a publicly known algorithmic complexity issue when doing operations on large numbers, causing denial of service (see issue # JDK-6560193 [4]). A third party can manipulate file time headers in a TAR file by placing a number with a very long fraction (300,000 digits) or a number with exponent notation (such as “9e9999999”) within a file modification time header, and the parsing of files with these headers will take hours instead of seconds, leading to a denial of service via exhaustion of CPU resources. This issue is similar to CVE-2012-2098 [5].

Only applications using CompressorStreamFactory class (with auto-detection of file types), TarArchiveInputStream and TarFile classes to parse TAR files are impacted. Since this code was introduced in v1.22, only that version and later versions are impacted.
A flaw was found in Apache Commons Compress, where it would permit the creation of a malformed TAR file by manipulating file modification time headers. This issue can lead to excessive CPU consumption and a denial of service, affecting the availability.
Отчет
Moderate impact vulnerability in Red Hat JBoss Fuse and Red Hat build of Apache Camel: a locally supplied malformed TAR file with manipulated file-modification-time headers can cause excessive CPU consumption and denial of service when parsed by Apache Commons Compress. The CVSS 3.1 score is 5.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), reflecting a local attack that requires user interaction and primarily affects availability. The affected entries are delegated for product follow-up, and a fix is being pursued. Red Hat Build of Keycloak, Red Hat Integration, JBoss Data Grid, Red Hat build of OptaPlanner, Red Hat build of Apache Camel on the Camel Quarkus stream, and Red Hat Build of Quarkus are not affected because the vulnerable code is not present. The current record also lists Red Hat Single Sign-On and Red Hat Process Automation Manager as NEW with OOSS resolution.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
