CVE-2025-13462
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.
