Alpine: libarchive: security update to 3.2.1-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 405115

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- Integer overflow in the ISO9660 writer in libarchive before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via vectors related to verifying filename
lengths when writing an ISO9660 archive, which trigger a buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-6250)

- The copy_from_lzss_window function in archive_read_support_format_rar.c in libarchive 3.2.0 and earlier
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via a crafted rar file.
(CVE-2015-8934)

- Integer overflow in the read_SubStreamsInfo function in archive_read_support_format_7zip.c in libarchive
before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a 7zip file with a large number of
substreams, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-4300)

- Heap-based buffer overflow in the parse_codes function in archive_read_support_format_rar.c in libarchive
before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a RAR file with a zero-sized
dictionary. (CVE-2016-4302)

- The archive_read_format_cpio_read_header function in archive_read_support_format_cpio.c in libarchive
before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a CPIO archive
with a large symlink. (CVE-2016-4809)
