Update Information:

Security fix for CVE-2019-18408 RAR reader: fix use after free If
read_data_compressed() returns ARCHIVE_FAILED, the caller is allowed to continue
with next archive headers. We need to set rar->start_new_table after the
ppmd7_context got freed, otherwise it won't be allocated again.
