Debian 9.7 was released on January 23, 2019.  You really should apply updates 
more than once a year.  Trouble with UNRAR scanning is probably a small part 
of the risk associated with non-updated systems (it'd be less bad if you've 
been applying security updates and not others, but still there's a lot of bug 
fixes you're leaving on the table even if it's just the non-security changes).
