27X Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Just like 7z last year, rarlabs left source code out in the open and the obvious obviously happened  https://thehackernews.com/2019/02/winrar-malware-exploit.html  Update your exes and skus.
King-Crimson Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Just to clarify: You'll actually need to download the BETA Version (5.70 beta 2) which no longer contains the affected library.  https://rarlab.com/download.htm  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:  https://patchmypc.com/home-updater-download
winny257 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 it is me no matter, I have my own WinRar and WinZip in one program, not official and especially not from Windows. Â
t.ara Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 winrar: Old Apps-com :-)Â ->and then take the first available version, which is running on win7:-) 7z is of course more interesting. Â Â
NNS10 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Does this vulnerability affect other programs that can open rar files?
Roggvir Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 As an alternative to updating, you can simply delete the UNACEV2.DLL library.
My Fair Lady Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks for letting me know about the update!
yokozii Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 thanks because I have been having issues and couldnt track where and why im updating NOW

Zoey McKenzie Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I updated my WinRar, and the trail period started over again. Yay!
