    An update that fixes 5 vulnerabilities is now available.

    Description:

    This update for unrar to version 5.6.1 fixes several issues.

    These security issues were fixed:

    - CVE-2017-12938: Prevent remote attackers to bypass a directory-traversal
    protection mechanism via vectors involving a symlink to the . directory,
    a symlink to the .. directory, and a regular file (bsc#1054038).
    - CVE-2017-12940: Prevent out-of-bounds read in the EncodeFileName::Decode
    call within the Archive::ReadHeader15 function (bsc#1054038).
    - CVE-2017-12941: Prevent an out-of-bounds read in the Unpack::Unpack20
    function (bsc#1054038).
    - CVE-2017-12942: Prevent a buffer overflow in the Unpack::LongLZ function
    (bsc#1054038).

    These non-security issues were fixed:

    - Added extraction support for .LZ archives created by Lzip compressor
    - Enable unpacking of files in ZIP archives compressed with XZ algorithm
    and encrypted with AES
    - Added support for PAX extended headers inside of TAR archive
    - If RAR recovery volumes (.rev files) are present in the same folder as
    usual RAR volumes, archive test command verifies .rev contents after
    completing testing .rar files
    - By default unrar skips symbolic links with absolute paths in link target
    when extracting unless -ola command line switch is specified
    - Added support for AES-NI CPU instructions
    - Support for a new RAR 5.0 archiving format
    - Wildcard exclusion mask for folders
    - Added libunrar* and libunrar*-devel subpackages (bsc#513804)
    - Prevent conditional jumps depending on uninitialised values (bsc#1046882)
