   WinRAR has a critical security bug: here is the fix   
   by Martin Brinkmann on February 21, 2019 in Security - 33 comments   
   WinRAR is a very popular software to create and extract archives on Windows   
   and other    
   supported operating systems. Part of its popularity comes from its support for   
   different    
   types of packing formats, another that the software's trial version never   
   expires.   
      
   A bug was discovered recently that affects all versions of WinRAR prior to   
   5.70. The bug,    
   a remote code execution vulnerability, affects all WinRAR versions and thus   
   all 500    
   million users that use the application.   
      
   Security researchers discovered a flaw in a library that WinRAR uses to   
   extract files from    
   archives packed with the ACE format.   
      
   Attackers can exploit the vulnerability by pushing specially prepared archives   
   to user    
   systems. The bug can be abused to extract the files into any folder on the   
   system    
   instead of the folder selected by the user or the default folder for extracted   
   files.
