Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated process to open a |
46 |
specially crafted archive using an application linked against |
47 |
libarchive, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the |
48 |
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All libarchive users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/libarchive-3.1.2-r1" |
62 |
|
63 |
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools |
64 |
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these |
65 |
packages. |
