CVE-2025-5916

Libarchive: integer overflow while reading warc files at archive_read_support_format_warc.c

Published: 6/9/2025 Last updated: 12/12/2025 Reserved: 6/9/2025

A vulnerability has been identified in the libarchive library. This flaw involves an integer overflow that can be triggered when processing a Web Archive (WARC) file that claims to have more than INT64_MAX - 4 content bytes. An attacker could craft a malicious WARC archive to induce this overflow, potentially leading to unpredictable program behavior, memory corruption, or a denial-of-service condition within applications that process such archives using libarchive. This bug affects libarchive versions prior to 3.8.0.
