+Subject: [PATCH] Merge pull request #3071 from stoeckmann/rar5_doublefree
+
+rar5: Avoid dangling pointers in init_unpack
+(cherry picked from commit 42453cf16255800726b4efedab25138639ceef20)
+
+Conflicts Resolved:
+
+libarchive/archive_read_support_format_rar5.c (1 conflict):
+- Stable's init_unpack() is a void function without the calloc failure
+ checks (`if(...== NULL) return ARCHIVE_FATAL;`) that exist upstream,
+ since it predates that hardening. Kept the CVE fix logic (unconditionally
+ setting rar->cstate.window_buf and rar->cstate.filtered_buf to NULL right
+ after free(), and removing the redundant else-branch that only NULLed
+ them when window_size <= 0) and omitted the ARCHIVE_FATAL return checks,
+ which don't apply to this void-returning stable version.
