An update of the libarchive package has been released.

Multiple security vulnerabilities were found in libarchive, a multi-format archive and compression library. Heap-based buffer over-reads, NULL pointer dereferences and out-of-bounds reads allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via specially crafted archive files.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.2-11+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libarchive packages.

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Splunk Enterprise hosted on the remote web server is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.17, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.13, 6.1.x prior to 6.1.12, 6.2.x prior to 6.2.13, 6.3.x prior to 6.3.9, 6.4.x prior to 6.4.5, or 6.5.x prior to 6.5.2;
or else it is Splunk Light prior to 6.5.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the libarchive     component due to a failure to properly check hardlinks     that contain payload data. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to bypass sandbox     restrictions. (CVE-2016-5418)

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists in the libarchive     component in the get_line_size() function in     archive_read_support_format_mtree.c that is triggered     when parsing lines. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to crash the library or disclose     memory contents. (CVE-2016-8688)

 -  An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Splunk     Light due to various system information being assigned     to the global window property '$C' when a request is     made to '/en-US/config?autoload=1'. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted web page, to disclose sensitive     information. (CVE-2017-5607)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Splunk     Web component due to improper validation of     user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted GET request,     to crash the daemon. (CVE-2017-5880)

  - A flaw exists in the libarchive component in the     check_symlinks() function in archive_write_disk_posix.c     that is triggered during the handling of subdirectories.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     overwrite arbitrary files.

  - A flaw exists in the libarchive component in the     edit_deep_directories() function due to symlink checks     and deep-directory support failing to properly handle     overly long pathnames. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files.

  - A flaw exists in the libarchive component in the     check_symlinks() function that is due to an overly     aggressive cached path handling mechanism. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     make changes to the permissions of arbitrary     directories.

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists in the libarchive     component in the bsdtar_expand_char() function in util.c     due to improper handling of crafted archives. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to open or load a specially crafted     archive, to execute arbitrary code.

  - A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists     due to improper validation of input before returning it     to users. An authenticated, remote attacker who has     administrative access can exploit this, via a specially     crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a     user's browser session.

  - A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists     in Splunk Light within the web interface due to improper     validation of unspecified input before returning to     users. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via a specially crafted request, to execute     arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.

Note that the vulnerabilities in the libarchive component do not affect Splunk Enterprise 6.5.1 or Splunk Light 6.5.1.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-03 (libarchive: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libarchive. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted       archive file possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with       the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for libarchive fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-8687: Buffer overflow when printing a filename     (bsc#1005070).

  - CVE-2016-8689: Heap overflow when reading corrupted 7Zip     files (bsc#1005072).

  - CVE-2016-8688: Use after free because of incorrect     calculation in next_line (bsc#1005076).

  - CVE-2016-5844: Integer overflow in the ISO parser in     libarchive allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a crafted ISO file     (bsc#986566).

  - CVE-2016-6250: Integer overflow in the ISO9660 writer in     libarchive allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code     via vectors related to verifying filename lengths when     writing an ISO9660 archive, which trigger a buffer     overflow (bsc#989980).

  - CVE-2016-5418: The sandboxing code in libarchive     mishandled hardlink archive entries of non-zero data     size, which might allowed remote attackers to write to     arbitrary files via a crafted archive file (bsc#998677).
