CVE Published:

Summary

The Archive_Tar class in PEAR's Archive_Tar prior to version 1.4.4 is susceptible to object injection through crafted tar files. This vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate file operations using the $v_header['filename'] parameter, which can lead to arbitrary file deletions via calls to @unlink($this->_temp_tarname). If other vulnerable PHP classes are instantiated, it increases the risk of remote code execution, potentially allowing unauthorized access or manipulation of the system.
