Description Carlos López 2022-11-22 09:19:49 UTC

CVE-2022-36227

In libarchive 3.6.1, the software does not check for an error after calling
calloc function that can return with a NULL pointer if the function fails, which
leads to a resultant NULL pointer dereference or, in some cases, even arbitrary
code execution.
