CVE-2026-14164 is a double-free vulnerability in libarchive's RAR5 decompression logic. When libarchive parses a specially crafted RAR5 archive, the RAR5 reader can free the internal filtered_buf buffer during unpacking state reinitialization in init_unpack() while leaving the pointer stale. If processing then continues to another archive entry, the same memory region may be freed again, creating a double-free condition in the RAR5 reader. The flaw affects applications that use the vulnerable libarchive API to inspect or extract attacker-controlled RAR5 content.
