Discussion

Unrarlib URarLib_Get Function Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The 'unrarlib' library is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the library fails to perform proper bounds-checking of user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to execute attacker-supplied code in the context of an application that relies on the affected library.
