Arch Linux Security Warning        ALSW 2007-#6
- ------------------------------------------------------------

Name:      unrar
Date:      2007-02-14
Severity:  Normal
Warning #: 2007-#6

- ------------------------------------------------------------

Product Background
===================
RAR and UnRAR provide command line interfaces for compressing and
decompressing RAR files.


Problem Background
===================

RAR and UnRAR contain a boundary error when processing
password-protected archives that could result in a stack-based buffer
overflow.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
password-protected archive and execute arbitrary code with the rights
of the user uncompressing the archive.

Problem Packages
===================
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Package       |   Repo    |   Group    |   Unsafe   |    Safe    |
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
  unrar          current      system      < 3.7.3      >= 3.7.3

Package Fix
===================
Upgrade to unrar 3.7.3. I verify that it isn't a patch for 3.6.x series.
