Descriptions
Multiple integer overflows in the (1) get_time_t_max and (2) get_time_t_min functions in archive_read_support_format_mtree.c in libarchive before 3.2.0 allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted mtree file, which triggers undefined behavior.
Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en las funciones (1) get_time_t_max y (2) get_time_t_min en archive_read_support_format_mtree.c en libarchive en versiones anteriores a 3.2.0 permiten a atacantes remotos tener impacto no especificado a través de un archivo mtree manipulado, lo que desencadena un comportamiento no definido.
Undefined behavior (signed integer overflow) was discovered in libarchive, in the MTREE parser's calculation of maximum and minimum dates. A crafted mtree file could potentially cause denial of service.
