    RAR and UnRAR contain a boundary error when processing
    password-protected archives that could result in a stack-based buffer
    overflow.

    <p>
    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.
