  - CVE-2016-4809: Memory allocate error with symbolic links     in cpio archives (bsc#984990).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libarchive, a library for reading and writing archives in various formats. An attacker can take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial of service against an application using the libarchive library (application crash), or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-3+wheezy2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libarchive packages.

Hanno Bock discovered that libarchive contained multiple security issues when processing certain malformed archive files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
