Subject: [PATCH 0/1] libarchive: Fix CVE-2016-1541
Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 16:29:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1462911976.git.leo@famulari.name> (raw)
There is a buffer overflow in libarchive, CVE-2016-1541 [0]. According
to MITRE description, it "allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code via crafted entry-size values in a ZIP archive."
Yikes!
This patch applies the upstream patch [1].
Requesting your review, since soooo many packages depend on libarchive.
I will follow this commit with an "ungrafting" commit on core-updates.
