Amazon Linux 2023: CVE-2025-58183: Important priority package update for golang (Multiple Advisories)

tar.Reader does not set a maximum size on the number of sparse region data blocks in GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files. A maliciously-crafted archive containing a large number of sparse regions can cause a Reader to read an unbounded amount of data from the archive into memory. When reading from a compressed source, a small compressed input can result in large allocations.
A flaw was found in the archive/tar package in the Go standard library. tar.Reader does not set a maximum size on the number of sparse region data blocks in GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files. A specially crafted tar archive with a pax header indicating a big number of sparse regions can cause a Go program to try to allocate a large amount of memory, causing an out-of-memory condition and resulting in a denial of service.
