Fixes CVE-2022-48303: GNU Tar through 1.34 has a one-byte out-of-bounds read
that results in use of uninitialized memory for a conditional jump.
Exploitation to change the flow of control has not been demonstrated.  The
issue occurs in from_header in list.c via a V7 archive in which mtime has
approximately 11 whitespace characters.
