+	  <h1>Summary</h1>
+	  <p>Potential code execution with tar.vim and special crafted tar files</p>
+	  <h1>Description</h1>
+	  <p>Vim is distributed with the tar.vim plugin, that allows easy
+	  editing and viewing of (compressed or uncompressed) tar files.</p>
+	  <p>Since commit 129a844 (Nov 11, 2024 runtime(tar): Update tar.vim to
+	  support permissions), the tar.vim plugin uses the ":read " ex command
+	  line to append below the cursor position, however the is not sanitized
+	  and is taken literaly from the tar archive. This allows to execute
+	  shell commands via special crafted tar archives. Whether this really
+	  happens, depends on the shell being used ('shell' option, which is set
+	  using $SHELL).</p>
+	  <h1>Impact</h1>
+	  <p>Impact is high but a user must be convinced to edit such a file
+	  using Vim which will reveal the filename, so a careful user may suspect
+	  some strange things going on.
