*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

unrar-nonfree in Ubuntu 14.x (Trusty and Utopic) is old (current
upstream version is 5.1.7) and can contain security issues.

Please update to the latest upstream version from http://rarlab.com/rar_add.htm 
in Ubuntu 14.10 and backport to 14.04 LTS.
I think this non-free package should be always kept up-to-date to cover 
security issues not maintained by the Security Team.

Here are listed some improvements (see http://rarlabs.com/rarnew.htm for
full list):

Version 5.11

 Bugs fixed:
  - RAR 5.10 failed to update self-extracting RAR archives
         containing nested ZIP archives stored without compression;
  - deleting a file in RAR5 solid archive containing files stored
         with -ver switch caused such files to lose version information;

Version 5.10
  - Added support for AES-NI CPU instructions allowing to improve
      RAR encryption and decryption performance.
