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.
CVE-2026-4424
Score 7.5 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: HIGH) published 2026-03-19. A secondary CVSS source baseline 7.5; sources differ by 0.0.
