Last modified

CVE-2005-4620 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Buffer overflow in WinRAR 3.50 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long command-line argument. NOTE: because this program executes with the privileges of the invoking user, and because remote programs do not normally have the ability to specify a command-line argument for this program, there may not be a typical attack vector for the issue that crosses privilege boundaries. EPSS estimates a 1.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
