Title:	Huawei EulerOS: Security Advisory for libarchive (EulerOS-SA-2023-2154)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'libarchive' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2023-2154 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'libarchive' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2023-2154 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: In libarchive before 3.6.2, 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. NOTE: the discoverer cites this CWE-476 remark but third parties dispute the code-execution impact: 'In rare circumstances, when NULL is equivalent to the 0x0 memory address and privileged code can access it, then writing or reading memory is possible, which may lead to code execution.'(CVE-2022-36227) Affected Software/OS: 'libarchive' package(s) on Huawei EulerOS V2.0SP5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
