In Lib/tarfile.py in Python through 3.8.3, an attacker is able to craft a TAR archive leading to an infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because _proc_pax lacks header validation.

Weakness

The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
