FKIE_CVE-2026-4424
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-19 15:16 - Updated: 2026-06-10 18:17
Severity
Summary
A flaw was found in libarchive. This heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the RAR archive processing logic due to improper validation of the LZSS sliding window size after transitions between compression methods. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted RAR archive, leading to the disclosure of sensitive heap memory information without requiring authentication or user interaction.
