Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in AutoMate, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in UNACEV2.DLL when extracting an ACE archive containing a file with an overly long filename. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a user extracts a specially crafted ACE archive.

The vulnerability is related to:
SA16479

Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into scheduling a task to extract a malicious ACE archive.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 6.1.0.0. Prior versions may also be affected.
