NVD Description

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

The sandboxing code in libarchive 3.2.0 and earlier mishandles hardlink archive entries of non-zero data size, which might allow remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a crafted archive file.
