Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an application installed which is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running WinRAR, an archive manager for Windows.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the archive extraction functionality. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted archive to bypass the Mark-Of-The-Web protection mechanism and potentially compromise the affected system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to WinRAR version 7.0 or later.
