libarchive.so is vulnerable to Denial Of Service. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation in the WARC parser within the _warc_read() function in libarchive/archive_read_support_format_warc.c. This issue can be exploited by an attacker via crafting a malicious WARC file resulting in Denial Of Service.
