node-tar is a full-featured Tar for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.16, tar (node-tar) applies a PAX extended header's size= record (and other PAX overrides) to the next header entry of any type, including intermediary metadata headers such as a GNU long-name (L) or long-link (K) entry. Per POSIX pax, a PAX extended header (x) describes the next file entry, not the intermediary extension headers that may sit between the x header and the file it annotates. Because node-tar lets the PAX size override the byte length of an intervening L/K/x header, an attacker can desynchronize node-tar's stream cursor relative to every other mainstream tar implementation (GNU tar, libarchive/bsdtar, Python tarfile, and the now-fixed tar-rs / astral-tokio-tar). The result is a tar parser interpretation differential (CWE-436): a single crafted archive yields a different set of members under node-tar than under the reference tar tools. An attacker can use this to hide a member from one parser while it is visible to another, which defeats security tooling whose scanner and extractor disagree on archive contents (e.g. a malware/secret scanner that lists entries with one library while a downstream step extracts with another) This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.16.

### Summary
`tar` (node-tar) applies a PAX extended header's `size=` record (and other PAX
overrides) to the **next header entry of any type**, including intermediary
metadata headers such as a GNU long-name (`L`) or long-link (`K`) entry. Per
POSIX pax, a PAX extended header (`x`) describes the *next file entry*, not the
intermediary extension headers that may sit between the `x` header and the file
it annotates. Because node-tar lets the PAX `size` override the byte length of
an intervening `L`/`K`/`x` header, an attacker can desynchronize node-tar's
