Description

@stephen-herd-eb

The company I work for uses YACE for our internal monitoring. Our scans are picking up a couple of busybox vulnerabilities that are fixed in recent versions of busybox.

CVE-2025-46394
CNA: MITRE Corporation

In tar in BusyBox through 1.37.0, a TAR archive can have filenames hidden from a listing through the use of terminal escape sequences.

CVE-2024-58251
CNA: MITRE Corporation

In netstat in BusyBox through 1.37.0, local users can launch of network application with an argv[0] containing an ANSI terminal escape sequence, leading to a denial of service (terminal locked up) when netstat is used by a victim.

I could just create a simple MR I guess with a change to the changelog and tag it 0.62.2, but I just want to understand the correct process, unless someone can fix it quickly for us.
