NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libarchive package and not the libarchive package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The lha_read_file_extended_header function in archive_read_support_format_lha.c in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap) via a crafted (1) lzh or (2) lha file.
