A flaw was found in microtar. A remote attacker could exploit a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the `raw_to_header()` function by supplying a crafted TAR archive with non-null-terminated name or linkname fields. This flaw allows the attacker to corrupt adjacent stack memory, which may lead to arbitrary code execution.
