Details

It was discovered that libarchive incorrectly handled certain RAR archive files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2025-5914)

It was discovered that libarchive incorrectly handled certain RAR archive files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to read sensitive data or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2025-5915)

It was discovered that libarchive incorrectly handled certain WARC archive files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted WARC archive, an attacker could use this issue to cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2025-5916)

It was discovered that libarchive incorrectly handled certain file names when handling prefixes and suffixes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2025-5917)
