[PRQ#47570] Deletion Request for unrar-libre
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for unrar-libre [2]: Discontinued minimal wrapper from 2020 [a] of mholt/archiver, available on AUR. [b] The name of this application is not only misleading, but also likely infringes on intellectual property rights of Alexander Roshal and/or win.rar GmbH, creator/owner/publisher of RAR, UnRAR, WinRAR. [a]: https://github.com/yanalunaterra-wip/unrar-libre [b]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archiver [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/unrar-libre/
In addition, this discontinued wrapper embeds the now-legacy mholt/archiver v3.3.0 from 2019, which has unresolved security issues (arbitrary file overwrite via path traversal - Zip Slip attack). This has been mitigated in newer upstream versions, but those patches are not included in "unrar-libre".
Request #47570 has been Accepted by muflone [1]: [Autogenerated] Accepted deletion for unrar-libre. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/muflone/
