CVE-2007-3641

It was discovered that libarchive1 would miscompute the length of a buffer resulting in a buffer overflow if yet another type of corruption occurred in a pax extension header.

CVE-2007-3644

It was discovered that if an archive prematurely ended within a pax extension header the libarchive1 library could enter an infinite loop.

CVE-2007-3645

If an archive prematurely ended within a tar header, immediately following a pax extension header, libarchive1 could dereference a NULL pointer.

The old stable distribution (sarge), does not contain this package.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.53-2etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libarchive package.");
