On the official issue libarchive/libarchive#2559 seen in the repo, the error is mentioned to be introduced in 3.7.5
libarchive/libarchive@2d8a576 and fixed in 3.8.0 libarchive/libarchive@565b5ae
Also, the redhat advisory for a lower version used in the os 3.5.3 is marked as not affected https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2024-48615.
Myself I have tried compiling lower versions and ran bsdtar as seen in this POC https://github.com/88Sanghy88/crash-test and couldnt get it reproduced except for the affected versions.
