Hanno Bock discovered that libarchive contained multiple security issues when processing certain malformed archive files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-8916, CVE-2015-8917 CVE-2015-8919, CVE-2015-8920, CVE-2015-8921, CVE-2015-8922, CVE-2015-8923, CVE-2015-8924, CVE-2015-8925, CVE-2015-8926, CVE-2015-8928, CVE-2015-8930, CVE-2015-8931, CVE-2015-8932, CVE-2015-8933, CVE-2015-8934, CVE-2016-5844)

Marcin ‘Icewall’ Noga discovered that libarchive contained multiple security issues when processing certain malformed archive files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-4300, CVE-2016-4302)

It was discovered that libarchive incorrectly handled memory allocation with large cpio symlinks. A remote attacker could use this issue to possibly cause libarchive to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-4809).
