[release-branch.go1.24] archive/tar: set a limit on the size of GNU sparse file 1.0 regions
Sparse files in tar archives contain only the non-zero components
of the file. There are several different encodings for sparse
files. When reading GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files, archive/tar did
not set a limit on the size of the sparse region data. A malicious
archive containing a large number of sparse blocks could cause
archive/tar to read an unbounded amount of data from the archive
into memory.
Since a malicious input can be highly compressable, a small
compressed input could cause very large allocations.
Cap the size of the sparse block data to the same limit used
for PAX headers (1 MiB).
