Tags: security
Severity: grave

FreeBSD has disclosed several security problems in libarchive:

| Several problems have been found in the code used to parse the tar and
| pax interchange formats.  These include entering an infinite loop if an
| archive prematurely ends within a pax extension header or if certain
| types of corruption occur in pax extension headers [CVE-2007-3644];
| dereferencing a NULL pointer if an archive prematurely ends within a
| tar header immediately following a pax extension header or if certain
| other types of corruption occur in pax extension headers [CVE-2007-3645];
| and miscomputing the length of a buffer resulting in a buffer overflow
| if yet another type of corruption occurs in a pax extension header
| [CVE-2007-3641].

Please mention the CVE names when fixing these bugs.
