The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2023:2898 advisory.

  - An attacker who submits a crafted tar file with size in header struct being 0 may be able to trigger an     calling of malloc(0) for a variable gnu_longlink, causing an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2021-33643)

  - An attacker who submits a crafted tar file with size in header struct being 0 may be able to trigger an     calling of malloc(0) for a variable gnu_longname, causing an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2021-33644)

  - The th_read() function doesn't free a variable t->th_buf.gnu_longlink after allocating memory, which may     cause a memory leak. (CVE-2021-33645)

  - The th_read() function doesn't free a variable t->th_buf.gnu_longname after allocating memory, which may     cause a memory leak. (CVE-2021-33646)
