Description:
Stefan Cornelius has discovered a vulnerability in Dzip, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when extracting ".dz" files. This makes it possible to have files extracted to arbitrary locations outside the current directory via directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.9 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Do not extract untrusted ".dz" files.
