Package        : libclamunrar
Version        : 0.99-0+deb7u2
CVE ID         : CVE-2017-7520
Debian Bug     : #867223

It was discovered that there was an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in
libcamunrar, a library to add unrar support to the Clam anti-virus software.

This was caused by an integer overflow resulting in a negative value of the
``DestPos`` variable, which allows the attacker to write out of bounds when
setting ``Mem[DestPos]``.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this issue has been fixed in libclamunrar version
0.99-0+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libclamunrar packages.
