An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in parse_file_info in archive_read_support_format_iso9660.c in libarchive 3.3.2 when extracting a specially crafted iso9660 iso file, related to archive_read_format_iso9660_read_header.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libarchive: directory traversal in bsdcpio (CVE-2015-2304)

  - libarchive: Out of bounds read in lha_read_file_header_1() function (CVE-2017-5601)

  - bsdcpio in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and     crash) via crafted cpio file. (CVE-2015-8915)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

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.
