3. Description:

 

The libarchive programming library can create and read several different

streaming archive formats, including GNU tar and cpio. It can also read ISO

9660 CD-ROM images.

 

Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were discovered in libarchive. If a

user were tricked into expanding a specially-crafted ISO 9660 CD-ROM image

or tar archive with an application using libarchive, it could cause the

application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the

privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2011-1777,

CVE-2011-1778)

 

All libarchive users should upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running

applications using libarchive must be restarted for this update to take

effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
