CVE-2025-5915

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libarchive (affected versions not specified)

Description A flaw in the libarchive library can lead to a heap buffer over-read due to the size of a filter block potentially exceeding the Lempel-Ziv-Storer-Schieber (LZSS) window. This can cause the library to attempt to read beyond the allocated memory buffer, resulting in unpredictable program behavior, crashes (denial of service), or the disclosure of sensitive information from adjacent memory regions.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
