CVE-2015-8933

Integer overflow in the archive_read_format_tar_skip function in archive_read_support_format_tar.c in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted tar file.

These are all security issues fixed in the bsdtar-3.2.2-2.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

libarchive was updated to fix 20 security issues.

These security issues were fixed:

• CVE-2015-8918: Overlapping memcpy in CAB parser (bsc#985698).
• CVE-2015-8919: Heap out of bounds read in LHA/LZH parser (bsc#985697).

• CVE-2016-4301: Stack buffer overflow in the mtree parse_device (bsc#985826).
• CVE-2016-4302: Heap buffer overflow in the Rar decompression functionality (bsc#985835).
• CVE-2016-4809: Memory allocate error with symbolic links in cpio archives (bsc#984990).

Hanno Böck discovered that libarchive contained multiple security issues when processing certain malformed archive files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Marcin "Icewall" Noga discovered that libarchive contained multiple security issues when processing certain malformed archive files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4300, CVE-2016-4302)

It was discovered that libarchive incorrectly handled memory allocation with large cpio symlinks. A remote attacker could use this issue to possibly cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-4809)
