Hello,
our maintainer found the following patches:
-----------
I was doing some maintainance on bsdtar package and noticed that there was a
buffer overflow fix upstream, see
http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/source/detail?r=3158&path=/trunk/libarchive/archive_read_support_format_iso9660.c

Also SUSE package does not include the
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libarchive.git;a=blob_plain;f=libarchive-2.8.4-iso9660-data-types.patch;hb=HEAD
patch which seems to be security sensitive also.
----------
More overflow fixes:

http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/source/detail?r=2842
http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/source/detail?r=3160

Use-after-free fix (not sure if exploitable):

http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/source/detail?r=3038
----------

Cheers,
Thomas
