Vulnerability Insight:
The following flaws exist:

- CVE-2024-6232: Regular expressions that allowed excessive backtracking during tarfile.TarFile
header parsing are vulnerable to ReDoS via specifically-crafted tar archives.

- CVE-2024-7592: When parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters in the
cookie value, the parser would use an algorithm with quadratic complexity, resulting in excess
CPU resources being used while parsing the value.

- CVE-2024-8088: When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methods of
'zipfile.Path' like 'namelist()', 'iterdir()', etc) the process can be put into an infinite loop
with a maliciously crafted zip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or
extracting the contents of the zip archive.This vulnerability only affects zipfile.Path, while the
more common API zipfile.ZipFile class is unaffected.
