Description: Jean-Sébastien Guay-Leroux has reported a vulnerability in Dr.Web, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the processing of LHA archives with a long directory name in the extended directory header. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted LHA archive.
Successful exploitation crashes the service and may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 4.33. Other versions may also be affected.
