Description Doran Moppert 2016-06-22 03:26:15 UTC 
Undefined behaviour was discovered in libarchive in the CAB format
parser.  memcpy() was used to move data between two memory segments
that could overlap, leading to potential undefined behaviour on
specially-crafted CAB files.

The vulnerable code was never in a released version; it was introduced
and fixed between v3.1.2 and v3.2.0.
