Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libarchive versions prior to 3.2.1

Description The issue is related to an integer overflow in the ISO9660 writer, which can be triggered by verifying filename lengths when writing an ISO9660 archive. This can lead to a buffer overflow, causing a denial of service or potentially allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.2.1, update to version 3.2.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the ISO9660 writer to minimize the risk of exploitation.
