Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
libarchive versions 3.7.7 and earlier
Description
The issue is a heap-based buffer over-read in the
header gnu longlink function in archive read support format tar.c via a TAR archive. This occurs because the software mishandles truncation in the middle of a GNU long linkname.Recommendations
For versions 3.7.7 and earlier, consider disabling the
header gnu longlink function in archive read support format tar.c to prevent exploitation until a patch is available. Restrict access to TAR archives to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the archive read support format tar.c function with untrusted input until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Buffer Over-read
