Security Advisory Description

Integer overflow in the ISO parser in libarchive before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted ISO file. (CVE-2016-5844)
Impact
For BIG-IP and VIPRION platforms that are configured to use Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing (vCMP), an authenticated administrator can upload a specially crafted ISO file and use the ISO file to create a vCMP guest virtual machine. A successful attack may cause the bsdtar to stop responding while creating the vCMP guest virtual machine.
