CVE-2015-8932medium
New! CVE Severity Now Using CVSS v3
The calculated severity for CVEs has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. CVEs that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.
Description
The compress_bidder_init function in archive_read_support_filter_compress.c in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted tar file, which triggers an invalid left shift.
