Update your exes and skus.

Well fuck ?

 

Time to update that shite

Thanks for sharing this!

Just to clarify: You'll actually need to download the BETA Version (5.70 beta 2) which no longer contains the affected library.

And thanks for the news, i was not aware of this until now. ?

 

 

I can also recommend this freeware tool that completely keeps your software up-to-date in the background, you'll never have to think about updating anything anymore:

why should we update?

[winny257]

it is me no matter, I have my own WinRar and WinZip in one program, not official and especially not from Windows.

winrar: Old Apps-com :-)  ->and then take the first available version, which is running on win7:-)

7z is of course more interesting.

who even uses rar anymore?

[NNS10]

Does this vulnerability affect other programs that can open rar files?

[Roggvir]

As an alternative to updating, you can simply delete the UNACEV2.DLL library.
