Summary

libarchive before 3.2.0 does not limit the number of recursive decompressions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and application crash) via a crafted gzip file.

    "Security Fix(es) :
    
      - A flaw was found in the way libarchive handled hardlink
        archive entries of non-zero size. Combined with flaws in
        libarchive's file system sandboxing, this issue could
        cause an application using libarchive to overwrite
        arbitrary files with arbitrary data from the archive.
        (CVE-2016-5418)
    
      - Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws were found in
        libarchive. Specially crafted ZIP, 7ZIP, or RAR files
        could cause a heap overflow, potentially allowing code
        execution in the context of the application using
        libarchive. (CVE-2016-1541, CVE-2016-4300,
        CVE-2016-4302)
    
      - Multiple out-of-bounds read flaws were found in
        libarchive. Specially crafted LZA/LZH, AR, MTREE, ZIP,
        TAR, or RAR files could cause the application to read
        data out of bounds, potentially disclosing a small
        amount of application memory, or causing an application
        crash. (CVE-2015-8919, CVE-2015-8920, CVE-2015-8921,
        CVE-2015-8923, CVE-2015-8924, CVE-2015-8925,
        CVE-2015-8926, CVE-2015-8928, CVE-2015-8934)
    
      - Multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws were found in
        libarchive. Specially crafted RAR, CAB, or 7ZIP files
        could cause an application using libarchive to crash.
        (CVE-2015-8916, CVE-2015-8917, CVE-2015-8922)
    
      - Multiple infinite loop / resource exhaustion flaws were
        found in libarchive. Specially crafted GZIP or ISO files
        could cause the application to consume an excessive
        amount of resources, eventually leading to a crash on
        memory exhaustion. (CVE-2016-7166, CVE-2015-8930)
    
      - A denial of service vulnerability was found in
        libarchive. A specially crafted CPIO archive containing
        a symbolic link to a large target path could cause
        memory allocation to fail, causing an application using
        libarchive that attempted to view or extract such
        archive to crash. (CVE-2016-4809)
    
      - An integer overflow flaw, leading to a buffer overflow,
        was found in libarchive's construction of ISO9660
        volumes. Attempting to create an ISO9660 volume with 2
        GB or 4 GB file names could cause the application to
        attempt to allocate 20 GB of memory. If this were to
        succeed, it could lead to an out of bounds write on the
        heap and potential code execution. (CVE-2016-6250)
    
      - Multiple instances of undefined behavior due to
        arithmetic overflow were found in libarchive. Specially
        crafted MTREE archives, Compress streams, or ISO9660
        volumes could potentially cause the application to fail
        to read the archive, or to crash. (CVE-2015-8931,
        CVE-2015-8932, CVE-2016-5844)"

        file could cause libarchive to allocate an excessive
        amount of memory, eventually leading to a crash.
        (CVE-2016-7166)
    
      - A denial of service vulnerability was found in
        libarchive. A specially crafted CPIO archive containing
        a symbolic link to a large target path could cause
        memory allocation to fail, causing an application using
        libarchive that attempted to view or extract such
        archive to crash. (CVE-2016-4809)
    
      - Multiple instances of undefined behavior due to
        arithmetic overflow were found in libarchive. Specially
        crafted Compress streams or ISO9660 volumes could
        potentially cause the application to fail to read the
        archive, or to crash. (CVE-2015-8932, CVE-2016-5844)"
