Description

This module abuses a filename spoofing vulnerability in WinRAR. The vulnerability exists
when opening ZIP files. The file names showed in WinRAR when opening a ZIP file come from
the central directory, but the file names used to extract and open contents come from the
Local File Header. This inconsistency allows to spoof file names when opening ZIP files
with WinRAR, which can be abused to execute arbitrary code, as exploited in the wild in
March 2014
