A module for Perl manipulation of .tar files
Backport upstream fix (commit f9af014) for CVE-2026-9538 which
adds a $MAX_FILE_SIZE cap (default 1 GiB) checked per entry
in _read_tar() to defend against attacker-controlled size-field
memory denial of service. A malicious tar archive with a small
compressed payload but a huge declared entry size could trigger
multi-GB memory allocation before the read completes.
