Discussion

LHA Multiple Code Execution Vulnerabilities

LHA is reported prone to multiple vulnerabilities. These issues include multiple local and remote buffer overflow vulnerabilities and a remote command execution vulnerability. Successful exploitation of these issues may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and gain unauthorized access to a vulnerable computer.

The following specific issues were reported:

The application is prone to a stack overflow vulnerability when processing a malicious archive.

Multiple local buffer overflow vulnerabilities were reported as well. These issues can be triggered by supplying an excessive string value to the application through the command line.

Additionally, a remote command execution issue affects the application. This issue is triggered when LHA processes a directory with a malformed name.

LHA versions 1.14 and prior are affected by these issues.
