"Several local/remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in
libarchive1, a single library to read/write tar, cpio, pax, zip,
iso9660 archives. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2007-3641
    It was discovered that libarchive1 would miscompute the
    length of a buffer resulting in a buffer overflow if yet
    another type of corruption occurred in a pax extension
    header.

  - CVE-2007-3644
    It was discovered that if an archive prematurely ended
    within a pax extension header the libarchive1 library
    could enter an infinite loop.

  - CVE-2007-3645
    If an archive prematurely ended within a tar header,
    immediately following a pax extension header,
    libarchive1 could dereference a NULL pointer."
