Old versions of cabextract are still available.
Installing cabextract
To install a packaged version of cabextract (e.g. for Debian, Ubuntu, the BSDs, Fink, Macports, Cygwin), follow that system's instructions.
To install the RPM, use the command rpm -i cabextract-1.9-1.i386.rpm
To install from the source code tarball:
More detailed instructions are included in the INSTALL file found in the cabextract-1.9 directory.
Using cabextract
Enter man cabextract to read the cabextract manual page. Also, running the cabextract command with the --help option gives a brief summary of usage.
In regular usage, just enter cabextract and the name of the cabinet or executable file you want to extract. cabextract will extract all files in all cabinets to the current directory, preserving any internal directory structure, file permissions and file dates. To list files rather than extract them, use the --list option. To test the archive integrity (doing the work of extracting the files, but not saving the results anywhere), use the --test option. This also prints the MD5 checksum of each file in the archive.
cabextract automatically searches files for embedded cabinets, and extracts all of them. If any multi-part cabinets are present, cabextract automatically searches for those parts and links them in. To suppress this behaviour, use the --single option.
cabextract can repair some kinds of corrupt cabinet files. Perhaps a better word for this is 'salvage', as the corrupted data is lost forever. Using the --fix option, lost data will be replaced with zeroes, and cabextract will attempt to continue to later data blocks, which are hopefully not corrupt.
You can make cabextract extract files into a specific directory with the --directory option, and you can force extracted filenames to lowercase with the --lowercase option. You can control which files are extracted using the --filter option. For example, cabextract --filter '*.wav' music.cab will extract only '.wav' files from music.cab.
Developing cabextract
You can get the current development version of cabextract from the libmspack github repository. Use the included script rebuild.sh to build the project.
Changes in cabextract 1.9.1
- A repeat of cabextract 1.9, but with some packaging issues fixed
Changes in cabextract 1.9
- A bug introduced in cabextract 1.8 was fixed: using the
--filteroption gave invisibly wrong results - When using
./configure --with-external-libmspack, libmspack's pkg-config file is used - cabextract is now distributed with its test suite. Run
make checkto test if cabextract is working - Some very old compatibility code has been removed (e.g. using
bcopyif there's nomemcpy)
Changes in cabextract 1.8
- cabextract's
--fixoption has been made much less strict, so is capable of salvaging even more from badly damaged files - cabinfo has a new output format, matching folders with their data blocks
Changes in cabextract 1.7
- cabextract now supports an
--encodingparameter, to specify the character encoding of CAB filenames if they are not ASCII or UTF8 - cabextract
--lowercasenow lowercases non-ASCII characters
Security vulnerabilities in cabextract
This is a list of security vulnerabilities reported in cabextract, and the version(s) of cabextract they affect. You should upgrade to the latest version where possible. If you discover a security vulnerability in cabextract, please contact me immediately.| Vulnerability | Affected |
|---|---|
| CVE-2018-18584: A CAB file with a Quantum-compressed block of exactly 38912 bytes will write one byte beyond the end of the input buffer | < 1.8 |
| CVE-2015-2060: A CAB file with overlong UTF-8 encodings for '/' can get its files extracted to an absolute path instead of the current directory. On Cygwin, a CAB file using both '/' and ' can evade checks for absolute files and './' directory traversals and can get its files extracted to any path | < 1.6 |
| CVE-2015-4471: A CAB file with LZX-compressed data ending early during an odd-sized uncompressed block can cause a 1 byte under-read, but no crash | < 1.5 |
| CVE-2015-4470: A CAB file with MSZIP-compressed data and a distance code of 30 causes a 1 byte over-read, but no crash | < 1.5 |
| CVE-2014-9732: A CAB file with two folders, the second folder invalid, and a file decompression order of folder 1, 2, 1, causes execution to jump to NULL | < 1.5 |
| CVE-2014-9556: On 32-bit architectures, a CAB file with invalid file offset or length (where offset + length 2^32) causes an infinite loop in the Quantum decoder | < 1.5 |
| CVE-2010-2801: A CAB file can cause the Quantum decoder to write a small negative length for output. cabextract's --test mode interprets this as a large unsigned integer and reads most of the address space, causing a segfault | 1.2 |
| CVE-2010-2800: A CAB file that ends during an MS-ZIP uncompressed block causes an infinite loop in the MS-ZIP decoder | < 1.3 |
| CVE-2004-0916: A CAB file can use './' in filenames to traverse directories | < 1.1 |
Frequently Asked Questions
- How can I extract this DATA1.CAB file?
- There are two different 'cabinet' file formats in popular use. Some are Microsoft cabinets, which can be unpacked with cabextract. Others are InstallShield cabinets, which come as files data1.hdr, data1.cab.. Unpacking an InstallShield cabinet with cabextract gives the message
WARNING; found InstallShield header. This is probably an InstallShield file. InstallShield cabinet files can be unpacked with unshield
- How can I extract this .MSI file?
- Windows Installer (MSI) files use a combination of file formats, including cabinet files. cabextract can see cabinet file headers embedded in the MSI file, so it appears you can extract it, but the embedded cabinet is not stored in sequential order, so you cannot. To unpack MSI files, I recommend lessmsi
- Can I license cabextract for use in my non-GPL software?
- Yes, you can. Contact me for further details. However, you may prefer to use libmspack, as it has been explicitly designed for reuse
- Where can I get software to create Microsoft cabinet files?
- You can use Microsoft's own CABARC.EXE or Rien Croonenborghs' LCAB. Future releases of libmspack will include a cabinet file creator. It is currently being designed

We wanted a classic guitar tone that would work from clean to higher gain rock. Cenzo selected the Vintage 30 in the closed back 1×12 cab and blended the balanced IRs of the Royer and 57 to get a fantastic core tone. Cocktail 10 0 1 download free. Switching to an open back cab he mixed in the rear 57 to enhance the bass, then subtly included the Neumann room mics to add the spaciousness of an open back cab, and provide the glue to hold it all together.
