Threats Tagged 'cve-2026-15028'

A flaw was found in libarchive. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger a heap overflow by providing a specially crafted tar archive. The issue occurs during the parsing of a PAX extended header containing a malformed SUN.holesdata sparse-file attribute. Successful exploitation could lead to a denial of service, making the system unavailable, or potentially allow for arbitrary code execution, giving the attacker control over the affected system.

CVE-2026-15028 is a vulnerability in libarchive used by Red Hat Hardened Images. It involves a heap overflow triggered by parsing a specially crafted tar archive with a malformed PAX extended header containing a SUN.holesdata sparse-file attribute. Exploitation requires user interaction or a specific application workflow to parse the malicious archive. The vulnerability can cause denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution, though reliable exploitation for code execution is complex. A security update is available from Red Hat to address this issue.
