What is CVE-2007-3644?

A vulnerability in libarchive prior to version 2.2.4 can be exploited by remote attackers to induce a denial of service through an infinite loop. This occurs when a malicious PAX or TAR archive contains a malformed pax extension header or an end-of-file condition specifically within the pax extension. Users interacting with such archives could unknowingly trigger this vulnerability, leading to service interruption.
