RHEL Packaging Agent fa57991f9d Fix CVE-2026-9538: cap per-entry declared size to prevent memory DoS
Backport upstream commit f9af0142 to perl-Archive-Tar 2.38
to fix CVE-2026-9538. The patch adds a $MAX_FILE_SIZE
variable (default 1 GiB) that caps the per-entry declared
size accepted when reading an archive, preventing memory DoS
from attacker-controlled tar header size fields.

CVE: CVE-2026-9538
Upstream patches:
 - f9af014260.patch
Resolves: RHEL-191916
