Description:
Vafa Khoshaein has discovered a vulnerability in WinRAR, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the handling of filenames when deleting files in archives. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by tricking a user into deleting a file in an opened, malicious archive.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
