TL;DR

The tar reader could keep requesting further entries even when the underlying stream could no longer supply a complete header for the next record, which allowed iteration to spin without making forward progress on corrupted or truncated input. The archive facade now treats a failed header read as a terminal archive error instead of continuing the enumeration loop. Regression tests cover advancing the reader after a broken tail so callers get a deterministic failure instead of a hang.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
