正直もうRAR5対応しなくてもいいんじゃないかな…7zだけで…

برنامه WinRAR نسخه 7.23 رو منتشر کرده و بازم داره سر جریان خرید لایسنس شوخی می‌کنه.

توی پیامشون گفتن «به لطف پرداخت‌های اخیر شما بالاخره تونستیم نسخه جدید بسازیم.» 😀

جدا از این شوخی، تو آپدیت جدید مشکل امنیتی پردازش RAR5 حل شده و یه سری باگ که باعث کرش می‌شد رو هم برطرف کردن.

libarchiveのPR #3575、今朝マージされた。force-pushを避けた置換PR方式だったけど、CI18本ぜんぶ緑でそのまま取り込まれた。RAR5のextra field、サイズは先に検算する——その流れが本家に残る。植え直しもあった長い一本。実を収穫する日の重さが、庭仕事をやめられない理由。

CVE-2026-14164 - Libarchive: double-free vulnerability in rar5 decompression logic via dangling filtered_buf pointer in init_unpack()
A double free issue has been identified in libarchive's RAR5 reader. During parsing of a specially crafted RAR5 archive, the filtered_buf pointer may remain stale after being freed during unpacking state reinitialization. Subsequent processing of another archive entry can trigger a second free of the same memory region, resulting in …

Bazzite利用のPeaZipというアプリでrar5の圧縮機能でけた
1.BazzarでPeaZipインストール
2.https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
  からRAR for Linuxをダウンロードして適当なフォルダに解凍
3.FlatSealでPeaZipに権限を与える
4.PeaZipを起動→メニュー(オプション)→高度な圧縮オプション設定→形式のドロップダウンをカスタムに設定
  →メニュー下の「高度」タブ選択→rarのチェックを確認→Manually set RAR binaryをチェックしファイルは「2」で解凍したrarを指定
これで使える

WinRAR 7.23 Fixes Heap Overflow Vulnerability that Leads to Application Crashes
WinRAR 7.23 Fixes Heap Overflow Vulnerability that Leads to Application Crashes
WinRAR 7.23 addresses a newly disclosed heap overflow vulnerability in the RAR5 recovery volume processing code, tracked as CVE-2026-14191. Closing a memory-corruption flaw that could be triggered by malicious recovery volume (.rev) data and potentially lead to application crashes or further exploitation. WinRAR 7.23 is a security-focused maintenance release that primarily fixes two vulnerabilities impacting archive handling and extraction safety. The most critical issue is a heap overflow in the RAR5 recovery volume data reconstruction logic, which affects WinRAR, command-line RAR, and UnRAR components. In this release, the vendor also hardens symbolic link handling during extraction to mitigate path-traversal risks and updates the bundled 7z extraction library to incorporate upstream security fixes. WinRAR 7.23 Fixes RAR5 Heap Overflow Vulnerability The CVE-2026-14191 heap overflow vulnerability resides in code that reconstructs data from RAR5 recovery volumes, special files used to repair damaged multi-volume archives. According to WinRAR’s changelog, specially crafted RAR5 recovery volume data could cause out-of-bounds writes on the heap when processed, corrupting in-memory structures and destabilizing WinRAR, RAR, and UnRAR binaries. Notably, the UnRAR.dll library distributed by RARLAB does not implement recovery volume processing. It is therefore not directly affected by this specific flaw. The issue has been credited to security researcher Arjun Basnet from Securin Labs, reflecting continued scrutiny of archive-processing code due to its integration in third-party applications and mail gateways. From an exploitation perspective, an attacker would need to convince a user or an application to process malicious RAR5 recovery volumes alongside a target archive, for example by distributing crafted .rev files bundled with legitimate content. Successful exploitation could lead to denial-of-service via WinRAR crashes, and depending on allocator behavior and surrounding mitigations, might be chainable with other bugs toward arbitrary code execution. This type of vulnerability is particularly relevant in environments where UnRAR or RAR is embedded as a backend tool, such as email servers, backup systems, or file-processing pipelines, because automated recovery operations may be triggered without the user’s direct awareness. Given past real-world exploitation of WinRAR bugs in financially motivated campaigns, keeping archive utilities patched is now a common hardening requirement in enterprise environments. Beyond the heap overflow, WinRAR 7.23 tightens handling of symbolic links that point outside the destination folder, which previously allowed a crafted archive to create symlinks leading to external paths even without the -ola option enabled. The updated extraction logic now prevents placing files via such links across multiple extraction operations, effectively blocking a class of path-traversal scenarios in WinRAR, RAR, and UnRAR-based extraction workflows. According to RARLAB , WinRAR 7.23 updates the integrated 7zxa.dll library to version 26.02, incorporating upstream 7-Zip bug fixes and security patches to improve the safe handling of 7z archives. Users and administrators should update WinRAR, RAR, and UnRAR to version 7.23 or later, especially on systems that process untrusted archives or recovery volumes from the internet, email, or shared storage. Organizations embedding UnRAR or RAR in server-side workflows should verify that bundled binaries have been upgraded, and consider monitoring for suspicious or unexpected RAR5 recovery volumes in logs and content filters as a preventive measure.

libarchiveのPR、CIの再実行も失敗してた。まずログを読み直すところから。同じ頃、直そうとしているRAR5のコード周辺でCVE-2026-4111(展開時の無限ループDoS)が公開されていて、自分の作業が本物の脆弱性のすぐ隣を歩いてたんだなと気が引き締まる。サイズの扱いが甘い場所は、いつか必ず誰かを刺す。今日はこの宿題と向き合う。

解凍・圧縮ソフト「7-Zip」にヒープバッファーオーバーフローの脆弱性、GitHubが報告
https://forest.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2032783.html

入れている方は早急にアップデートを。
ちなみにWindows 11の現行バージョンではOS標準で7zipアーカイブなども扱えるようになっているので、7-zip等サードパーティーアーカイバーの新規導入は個人的には非推奨
解凍・圧縮ソフト「7-Zip」にヒープバッファーオーバーフローの脆弱性、GitHubが報告/修正版への更新を
米GitHubのセキュリティチーム「GitHub Security Lab」(GHSL)は7月17日(現地時間)、解凍・圧縮ソフト「7-Zip」でヒープバッファーオーバーフローの脆弱性(CVE-2025-53816)を発見したことを明らかにした。「RAR5」書庫ファイルの処理に問題があり、メモリ破壊やサービス拒否につながる可能性があるという。

OSSの庭仕事、libarchiveにバグ修正のPRを出した。RAR5のextra field、ペイロードのサイズを確かめずに符号なしで引き算していたせいで値がぐるっと回って、壊れたアーカイブをエラー扱いせず黙ってEOFに流していた。サイズを先に検算するようにして、再現フィクスチャと回帰テストも添えた。メンテナから「PRを出してほしい」と明示的に言われていた案件なので、形にできてよかった。いまはレビュー待ち。植えた分は、芽が出るのを待つ。

7-Zipのデフォルト設定では、抽出されたファイルがWindows SmartScreenを回避できます。

7-Zipのデフォルト設定では、インターネット経由で配信されたアーカイブから抽出されたファイルはMark of the Web(MotW)を削除できるため、Windows SmartScreenは評判チェックを実行せず、署名されていないペイロードが「WindowsがPCを保護しました」という警告なしに実行される可能性があります。
