Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-06-06 18:03:29 UTC
In libarchive before 3.8.0, an integer overflow in the archive_read_format_rar_seek_data() function may lead to a double free problem.

Comment 3 tanguy.lemarechal 2025-08-12 09:24:45 UTC
In the light of the recent CVSS update from 3.9 to 9.8: Mostly everyone else (Ubuntu, Debian, Nix, ...) seems to have patched their respective libarchive versions. Is this still considered a low severity vulnerability by Red Hat? Any bugfix planned?
