The remote host is missing an update for the 'libarchive' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. The libarchive programming library can create and read several different streaming archive formats, including GNU tar and cpio. It can also read ISO 9660 CD-ROM images. Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were discovered in libarchive. All libarchive users should upgrade to these updated packages, containing backported patches to correct these issues
