    Summary: rardecode: DoS risk due to unrestricted RAR dictionary sizes

    Details: rardecode versions <= 2.1.1 fail to restrict the dictionary size when reading large RAR dictionary sizes, which allows an attacker to provide a specially crafted RAR file and cause Denial of Service via an Out Of Memory Crash.
