Rock Stevens, Andrew Ruef and Marcin Icewall Noga discovered a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the zip_read_mac_metadata function in libarchive, a multi-format archive and compression library, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a user or automated system is tricked into processing a specially crafted ZIP file. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.2-11+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your libarchive packages.
