With recovery record and recovery volumes, you can reconstruct even physically damaged archives.
WinRAR 5.30 Beta 5 changelog:
- Information about the critical vulnerability in WinRAR self-extracting archives recently published in news is incorrect. Unfortunately mass media failed to recognize that what was described as WinRAR vulnerability is Windows OLE vulnerability patched in November 2014: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms14-064.aspx
- Even if unpatched, this Windows OLE vulnerability does not introduce new risk factors for WinRAR SFX archives.
- Please read https://rarlab.com/vuln_sfx_html2.htm for more details.
- No patches for WinRAR are needed.
"Import/Export" commands:
- WinRAR performs the additional validation of Settings.reg contents for "Import settings from file" command to prevent importing Registry keys unrelated to WinRAR settings;
- WinRAR specifies the full path to regedit.exe tool to prevent running copies of "regedit" from other folders.
Bugs fixed:
- If "file" and "file.exe" were present in the same folder and user double clicked on "file", WinRAR could start "file.exe" instead;
- "Generate report" command could create a report in wrong folder, not that with selected files;
- RAR could crash when unpacking .rar archives with corrupt file headers. Fixed now.
