RARLAB UnRAR before 6.12 on Linux and UNIX allows directory traversal to write to files during an extract (aka unpack) operation, as demonstrated by creating a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. NOTE: WinRAR and Android RAR are unaffected.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6569-1 advisory.

    it was discovered that libclamunrar incorrectly handled directories when extracting RAR archives. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code. This issue     only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04. (CVE-2022-30333)

    It was discovered that libclamunrar incorrectly validated certain structures when extracting RAR archives.
    A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-40477)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202309-04 (RAR, UnRAR: Arbitrary File Overwrite)

  - RARLAB UnRAR before 6.12 on Linux and UNIX allows directory traversal to write to files during an extract     (aka unpack) operation, as demonstrated by creating a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. NOTE: WinRAR and     Android RAR are unaffected. (CVE-2022-30333)

  - The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of array index when processing recovery volumes. A     remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted archive and execute arbitrary code on the     system. (CVE-2023-40477)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3534 advisory.

  - RARLAB UnRAR before 6.12 on Linux and UNIX allows directory traversal to write to files during an extract     (aka unpack) operation, as demonstrated by creating a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. NOTE: WinRAR and     Android RAR are unaffected. (CVE-2022-30333)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1760-1 advisory.

  - RARLAB UnRAR before 6.12 on Linux and UNIX allows directory traversal to write to files during an extract     (aka unpack) operation, as demonstrated by creating a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. NOTE: WinRAR and     Android RAR are unaffected. (CVE-2022-30333)
