Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the libarchive library. An out-of-bounds access in the execute_filter_audio function in the libarchive/archive_read_support_format_rar.c file can be triggered due to a missing validation when a specially crafted RAR archive is processed. This issue may cause the application linked to the library to crash, resulting in denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-10-10 02:01:08 UTC
execute_filter_audio in archive_read_support_format_rar.c in libarchive before 3.7.5 allows out-of-bounds access via a crafted archive file because src can move beyond dst.
