Synopsis
========
RAR and UnRAR contain a buffer overflow allowing the execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
RAR and UnRAR provide command line interfaces for compressing and
decompressing RAR files.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-arch/rar < 3.7.0_beta1 >= 3.7.0_beta1
2 app-arch/unrar < 3.7.3 >= 3.7.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
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.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All UnRAR users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/rar-3.7.3"
All RAR users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/rar-3.7.0_beta1"
