    <p>
    unarj is an ARJ archive decompressor.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    unarj has a bounds checking vulnerability within the handling of
    long filenames in archives. It also fails to properly sanitize paths
    when extracting an archive (if the "x" option is used to preserve
    paths).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could trigger a buffer overflow or a path traversal by
    enticing a user to open an archive containing specially-crafted path
    names, potentially resulting in the overwrite of files or execution of
    arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running unarj.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All unarj users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-arch/unarj-2.63a-r2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
