CVE-2002-1109
securetar, as used in AMaViS shell script 0.2.1 and earlier, allows users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed TAR file, possibly via an incorrect file size parameter.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.36%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
