    Package        : libarchive     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-20696     Debian Bug     : 1086155

    A heap-based out-of-bounds write vulnerability was discovered in     libarchive, a multi-format archive and compression library, which may     result in the execution of arbitrary code if a specially crafted RAR     archive is processed.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in     version 3.6.2-1+deb12u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libarchive packages.

    For the detailed security status of libarchive please refer to its     security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libarchive
