On Windows, configuring a named pipe server with pipe_mode will force ServerOptions::reject_remote_clients as false.

This drops any intended explicit configuration for the reject_remote_clients that may have been set as true previously.

The default setting of reject_remote_clients is normally true meaning the default is also overridden as false.

Workarounds

Ensure that pipe_mode is set first after initializing a ServerOptions. For example:

let mut opts = ServerOptions::new();
opts.pipe_mode(PipeMode::Message);
opts.reject_remote_clients(true);

The archive reader incorrectly handles PAX extended headers, when the ustar header incorrectly specifies zero size (size=000000000000), while a PAX header specifies a non-zero size, tokio-tar::Archive is going to read the file content as tar entry header.

This can be used by a tar file to present different content to tokio-tar compared to other tar reader implementations.

This bug is also known as CVE-2025-62518 and GHSA-j5gw-2vrg-8fgx, as those crates share a common ancestor codebase.

The tokio-tar crate is archived and no longer maintained, we recommend you switch to an alternative crate such as:

• astral-tokio-tar
