Upgrade Debian:unstable unrar-nonfree to version 1:5.5.5-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream unrar-nonfree package and not the unrar-nonfree package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
A VMSF_DELTA memory corruption was discovered in unrar before 5.5.5, as used in Sophos Anti-Virus Threat Detection Engine before 3.37.2 and other products, that can lead to arbitrary code execution. An integer overflow can be caused in DataSize+CurChannel. The result is a negative value of the "DestPos" variable, which allows the attacker to write out of bounds when setting Mem[DestPos].
