Summary

The rardecode library (github.com/nwaples/rardecode) versions up to 2.1.1 fail to restrict the dictionary size when reading large RAR dictionary sizes, allowing an attacker to provide a specially crafted RAR file and cause Denial of Service via an Out Of Memory Crash.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely cause a crash in applications using this library, leading to service unavailability.

Recommendation

Update the rardecode library to a version newer than 2.1.1 that includes a fix limiting dictionary size.
