| Description: | A vulnerability has been reported in RARLabs UnRAR, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing password-protected archives using the UnRAR command line utility. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted password-protected archive. Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into opening a password-protected archive and respond to the password prompt. The vulnerability is reported in version 3.60 for Linux and 3.61 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected. The vendor has issued version 3.70 beta release to fix the issue. | |
