+Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fixed: crashes with corrupted rar files
+
+UnrarXLib does not handle invalid files gracefully enough, and some
+files can cause it to tell CRarFile that it has written more data into
+its buffer than actually fits there, causing CRarFile::Read() to
+eventually overread the buffer.
+
+Add checks in CRarFile for the validity of byte counts retrieved from
+UnrarXLib to prevent crashes in such situations.

+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fixed: CRarFile::Read() returning wrong data after some
+ seek patterns
+
+Certain seek patterns on a file inside a non-compressed rar file can
+cause CmdExtract::UnstoreFile() to think that the destination buffer has
+been filled (as DestUnpSize counter, originally set to the file size,
+reaches zero).
+
+However, counting written bytes using DestUnpSize doesn't make sense for
+the UnpackToMemory codepath used for non-compressed rar files, as there
+can be seeks which can eventually cause more data to be read than what
+the actual file size was. The actual output buffer is internally handled
+by ComprDataIO.
+
+The check in UnstoreFile() will result in not all data being written to
+the destination buffer, causing CRarFile::Read() to return old stale
+data.
+
+Fix that by dropping the unnecessary DestUnpSize handling in
+UnpackToMemory codepath of CmdExtract::UnstoreFile().
