Descriptions

Buffer overflow in libarchive 3.0 pre-release code allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted CAB file, which is not properly handled during the reading of Huffman code data within LZX compressed data.

Desbordamiento de búfer en el código libarchive v3.0 pre-release, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) o posiblemente terner otro impacto a través de un fichero CAB manipulado, que no es gestionado de forma adecuada durante la lectura del código Huffman dentro de los datos comprimidos LZX.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libarchive, some of which may allow execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 3.1.2-r1 are affected.
