Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: FreeBSD versions 6-STABLE after 2006-09-05 and before 2006-11-08

Description: The issue allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically CPU consumption, by providing a malformed archive. This archive causes the library to skip a region past the actual end of the archive, triggering an infinite loop that attempts to read more data.
