WINRAR vulnerability puts customers at risk

They say Data isn't an asset - it's a liability, same with connectivity?

According to ZDNet's  Charlie Osborn - "A severe security flaw apparently discovered in the WinRAR suite could allow hackers to compromise user systems."

Hmm.  Without reading the article, I thought "If it's WinRAR, and it has no connectivity, a vulnerability won't be too bad, even if got PWNED by bad compression parsing"

Wonder what really happened?
