CVE-2024-26256

Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código de libarchive

Libarchive Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of libarchive. Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.
The specific flaw exists within the run_filters method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.

An integer overflow vulnerability in the rar e8 filter was discovered in libarchive, a multi-format archive and compression library, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code if a specially crafted RAR archive is processed.
