Description:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered a vulnerability in WinUAE, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when loading floppy disk image files (e.g. .GZ). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted floppy disk image file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.4. Prior versions may also be affected.
