CVE-2025-25724  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest libarchive to version 3.7.4-4+e1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

list_item_verbose in tar/util.c in libarchive through 3.7.7 does not check an strftime return value, which can lead to a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted TAR archive that is read with a verbose value of 2. For example, the 100-byte buffer may not be sufficient for a custom locale.
