Multiple security issues were found in libarchive, a multi-format archive and compression library: Processing malformed RAR archives could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code and malformed WARC, LHarc, ISO, Xar or CAB archives could result in denial of service.

This update for libarchive fixes the following issues :

CVE-2016-10209: The archive_wstring_append_from_mbs function in archive_string.c allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted archive file. (bsc#1032089)

CVE-2016-10349: The archive_le32dec function in archive_endian.h allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted file.
(bsc#1037008)

CVE-2016-10350: The archive_read_format_cab_read_header function in archive_read_support_format_cab.c allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted file. (bsc#1037009)

CVE-2017-14166: libarchive allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (xml_data heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted xar archive, related to the mishandling of empty strings in the atol8 function in archive_read_support_format_xar.c.
(bsc#1057514)

CVE-2017-14501: An out-of-bounds read flaw existed in parse_file_info in archive_read_support_format_iso9660.c when extracting a specially crafted iso9660 iso file, related to archive_read_format_iso9660_read_header. (bsc#1059139)

Multiple security vulnerabilities were found in libarchive, a multi-format archive and compression library. Heap-based buffer over-reads, NULL pointer dereferences and out-of-bounds reads allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via specially crafted archive files.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.2-11+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libarchive packages.
