Package : rar Version : 2:6.20-0.1~deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-30333 Debian Bug : 1012228

The RAR archiver allows directory traversal to write to files during an extract (aka unpack) operation, as demonstrated by creating a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

We recommend that you upgrade your rar packages.
