A stack-based buffer overflow exists in file-roller's parse_progress_line() functions in the 7z and RAR archive backends (src/fr-command-7z.c and src/fr-command-rar.c). When processing output from the 7z or rar subprocess, file paths from archive entries are copied with strcpy() into fixed-size stack buffers (4196 and 4096 bytes) without length validation. An archive containing a file entry with a path longer than these buffers causes a stack buffer overflow when the user opens or extracts the archive in file-roller, resulting in denial of service (process termination). Practical code execution is considered difficult on hardened builds with stack canaries, PIE, and ASLR. Reported upstream as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/327 by Yukihiro Nakamura. Fixed upstream in commit ffb76dc866342cef6a4914873faaa880d14d5aa4 ("Check line length when parsing command output"), first released in file-roller 44.7.
