Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Anti-Trojan, 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 scans a specially crafted ACE archive.
The vulnerability is related to:
SA16479
Successful exploitation requires that the "Search in archive files" option is enabled.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 5.5.421. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
