Comment 1 Ramon de C Valle 2012-01-20 07:14:59 UTC
This is a regression from Bug 705849 in latest version of libarchive package
released via RHSA-2011:1507. The CVE-2011-1777.patch attached to Bug 705849
breaks ISO support. This regression was found by Mageia QA:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3941.

The original Security, SecurityTracking, ZStream is Bug 739940.

Comment 2 Tomáš Bžatek 2012-03-26 10:17:52 UTC
This bugreport only tracks a regression in ISO9660 reader, created by a fix of one of the CVEs in libarchive-2.8.3-3.el6. Other formats are untouched.

Reproduced with Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso - the old (-3) build fails to list contents of this ISO image, the new build (-4) works fine. Can be reproduced using gvfsd-archive (automatically spawned by Nautilus by opening an ISO archive).

Comment 3 Jiri Pallich 2012-10-09 12:42:41 UTC
Since this is a parent bug of an issue that has already been released via Z-Stream (e.g. rhel-6.3.z), this bug is going to be CLOSED as CURRENTRELEASE.
