Thanks, we should have done that last time; could have avoided this.

Advisory:
========================

Updated libarchive packages fix security vulnerability:

archive_read_support_format_lha.c in libarchive before 3.4.1 does not ensure
valid sizes for UTF-16 input, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted
LHA archive (CVE-2019-20509).

The libarchive package has been updated to version 3.4.3, fixing this issue and
other bugs.
