CVE-2024-21651
A user able to attach a file to a page can post a malformed TAR file by manipulating file modification times headers, which when parsed by Tika, could cause a denial of service issue via CPU consumption.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.64%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
