NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream unrar-free package and not the unrar-free package as distributed by Ubuntu.

unrar 0.0.1 (aka unrar-free or unrar-gpl) suffers from a directory traversal vulnerability for RAR v2 archives: pathnames of the form ../[filename] are unpacked into the upper directory.
