This flaw involves an integer overflow that can be triggered when processing a Web Archive (WARC) file that claims to have more than INT64_MAX - 4 content bytes. An attacker could craft a malicious WARC archive to induce this overflow, potentially leading to unpredictable program behavior, memory corruption, or a denial-of-service condition within applications that process such archives using libarchive. This bug affects libarchive versions prior to 3.8.0.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `libarchive < 3.8.0`\n- `openshift_container_platform = 4.0`\n- `enterprise_linux = 6.0`\n- `enterprise_linux = 7.0`\n- `enterprise_linux = 8.0`\n- `enterprise_linux = 9.0`\n- `enterprise_linux = 10.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `libarchive 3.8.0`","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":21,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":21.5,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
