libarchive is a multi-format archive and compression library. libarchive libarchive version 3.6.1 contains a code execution vulnerability that stems from an unchecked error after a call to the calloc function, meaning that if the function fails, the calloc function returns a NULL pointer, which causes the NULL pointer to be dereferenced. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
