Package: libarchive12
Version: 3.0.3-5
Severity: important

I believe this bug is important because it blocks the use of libgxps-utils
(e.g. xpstopdf conversion tool).

Complete description of the bug:
"infinite loop on an xps zip file"
https://code.google.com/p/libarchive/issues/detail?id=226#c5
Related merge that fixes the issue:
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/commit/f7cd53ca1eda0d08fc3b3876ed474321b9f70ac7

Namely, if you try to use libarchive12, it will keep reading the xps file
indefinitely with 100% CPU.

I have created a quilt patch (based on the merge above) for the debian package:
