Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in PowerArchiver, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when reading the filename of a compressed file from an ACE/ARJ archive. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a malicious archive containing a file with an overly long filename is opened.
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in the following versions with ACE, or ARJ archives, or both:
* PowerArchiver 2006 version 9.5 Beta 4/Beta 5
* PowerArchiver 2004 version 9.25
* PowerArchiver 2003 version 8.60
* PowerArchiver 2002 version 8.10
Prior versions may also be affected.
