NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libarchive package and not the libarchive package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

bsdcpio in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and crash) via crafted cpio file.
