CVE-2024-48958

Summary

CVE-2024-48958 is a newly disclosed vulnerability affecting libarchive before version 3.7.5. The issue lies in the 'execute_filter_delta' function of 'archive_read_support_format_rar.c'. This vulnerability enables an attacker to manipulate archive files in such a way that 'src' can move beyond 'dst', leading to out-of-bounds access. This could potentially result in arbitrary code execution, posing a significant threat to systems that use libarchive for handling RAR archives. System administrators are strongly advised to upgrade to the latest version of libarchive to mitigate this risk.
