[SOLVED] libarchive: Unresolved CVE-2017-5601?
Any reason why it is not being patched for CVE-2017-5601? I have not noted any regressions with the commit patch.

Re: [SOLVED] libarchive: Unresolved CVE-2017-5601?
I don't see the CVE listed at security.archlinux.org, nor do I see it mentioned on the arch-security mailing list, as such, I can only assume that the maintainer is not aware of this CVE, or the Arch package is not affected. Unfortunately, I am not sure what the procedure is to alert the security team in case of the former, but opening a bug report is generally a good way of alerting the package maintainer to issues.

A bug report will serve as notification to the security team as well.
