Fri Aug 18 11:17:22 EDT 2017
apps-general/unrar upgraded from 5.5.6 to 5.5.8 to fix CVE-2017-12938, a
	vulnerability which allowed a specially crafted rar file to bypass
	directory traversal protection when extracted. Exploitation of this
	vulnerability could result in overwriting arbitrary files that are
	writable by the user extracting the rar file. This also patches some
	out of bounds read and buffer overflow vulnerabilities. For more
	information see:
