      decompressing RAR files.

  <description>
    <p>A VMSF_DELTA memory corruption was discovered in which an integer
      overflow can be caused in DataSize+CurChannel. The result is a negative
      value of the “DestPos” variable which allows writing out of bounds
      when setting Mem[DestPos].
    </p>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker, by enticing a user to open a specially crafted
      archive, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All RAR users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
      "&gt;=app-arch/rar-5.5.0_beta4_p20170628"
    </code>
    
    <p>All UnRAR users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/unrar-5.5.5"
    </code>
