WinRAR 7.23
WinRAR is a powerful archive manager for Windows, Linux, Mac. This is a powerful compression tool with many integrated additional functions to help you organize your compressed archives.
It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format. The archiver puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression.
By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. It automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method.
The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well. RAR files can usually compress content by 8% to 15% more than ZIP files can.

Changes in version 7.23:
- Heap overflow vulnerability is fixed in RAR5 recovery volume data reconstruction code. It affects WinRAR, RAR and UnRAR. UnRAR.dll library doesn’t include recovery volume processing, so it is not affected.
- Symbolic link pointing outside of destination folder could be created even without -ola switch, when extracting a specially crafted RAR archive by WinRAR, RAR, UnRAR or UnRAR.dll library. Further check in extraction code prevents placing files to such folder even in case of multiple extraction commands, excluding the possibility of path traversal attack for WinRAR, RAR or UnRAR based extraction. It limits the potential threat to a case where another tool uses this symbolic link to store files.
- 7zxa.dll 7z extraction library is updated to version 26.02 to include bug and vulnerability fixes by the library developer.
- Switch -iver prints RAR version even if -idc is specified in the command line, configuration file or RARINISWITCHES environment variable. Previously -idc blocked -iver action. Also a new line character is added to -iver output.
Changes in version 7.22:
- Deleting from solid archives reverted to pre-7.20 state to finalize the fix in WinRAR 7.21 and avoid potential checksum errors.
Changes in version 7.13:
- Another directory traversal vulnerability, differing from that in WinRAR 7.12, has been fixed.
- When extracting a file, previous versions of WinRAR, Windows versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR.dll can be tricked into using a path, defined in a specially crafted archive, instead of user specified path.
- Unix versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR library, also as RAR for Android, are not affected.
- We are thankful to Anton Cherepanov, Peter Kosinar, and Peter Strycek from ESET for letting us know about this security issue.
- Bugs fixed:
- a) version 7.12 “Import settings from file” command failed to restore settings, saved by WinRAR versions preceding 7.12;
- b) version 7.12 set a larger than specified recovery size for compression profiles, created by version 5.21 and older.
