Description
A flaw was found in libarchive, a data archiving library. This vulnerability, a heap-based buffer overflow in the gzip writer, occurs when handling the `original-filename` field. While exploitation requires a specific, marginally plausible scenario where an untrusted source provides the filename, a successful attack could lead to a denial of service (DoS).
