rh#1362601

Insomnia Security (as part of a pre-arranged commercial engagement) reports:

A vulnerability in libarchive exists that allows an archive Entry with type 1 (hardlink), but has a non-zero data size to cause a file overwrite. This vulnerability can be leveraged in a way that has a significant security impact (this was not clear at first during initial research by upstream).
