The specific version included in Ubuntu 18.04 (libarchive 3.2.2) is the only version that presents the problem. This version has a known problem when reading file entries in ZIP files, where it incorrectly identifies directories and files entries.

It has been confirmed that the previous and following versions (3.3.1+) do not have this problem and the library handles the ZIP files correctly.

Is it possible to include a newer version of libarchive (3.3.1+) in Bionic?

This problem is seriously affecting some of our systems.
