**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** libarchive version 3.4.1dev **Description** A heap-based buffer overflow issue exists, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted archive file. This issue affects users who downloaded the development code from GitHub, while users of the product's official releases are unaffected. **Recommendations** For libarchive version 3.4.1dev, consider avoiding the use of crafted archive files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the archive string append from wcs() function in archive string.c to minimize the risk of exploitation.
