Descriptions

The trad_enc_decrypt_update function in archive_read_support_format_zip.c in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read and crash) via a crafted zip file, related to reading the password.

La función trad_enc_decrypt_update en archive_read_support_format_zip.c en libarchive en versiones anteriores a 3.2.0 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura de memoria dinámica fuera de rango y caída) a través de un archivo zip manipulado, relacionado con la lectura de contraseña.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libarchive, the worst of which allows for the remote execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 3.2.2 are affected.
