        <h2>Description:</h2>
    
    <p>This update for libarchive fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>creating temporary files in the current working directory instead of the target directory can lead to file creation
  failures when the working directory is not writable (bsc#1254340).</li>
<li>file descriptor leak in the mtree parser cleanup path could lead to file descriptor exhaustion and denial of service
  (bsc#1261003).</li>
<li>NULL pointer dereference in archive_acl_from_text_w() could lead to a segmentation fault (bsc#1260998).</li>
<li>reading from an invalid index when buffer size is smaller than H_LEVEL_OFFSET can lead to an out-of-bounds buffer
  overrun (bsc#1254341).</li>
</ul>
