 Problem Description:

 Updated cabextract packages fix security vulnerability:
 
 Libmspack, a library to provide compression and decompression of
 some file formats used by Microsoft, is embedded in cabextract. A
 specially crafted cab file can cause cabextract to hang forever. If
 cabextract is exposed to any remotely-controlled user input, this
 issue can cause a denial-of-service (CVE-2014-9556).
