An issue has been found in libarchive, a multi-format archive and compression library.

In case of a crafted archive containing several parts and one part being corrupt, there would be an use-after-free for the next part of the archive.



For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-3+wheezy6+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libarchive packages.
