Discussion

Multiple Vendor UNACEV2 Archive File Name Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Multiple products are prone to a buffer overflow when handling ACE archives that contain files with overly long names.

This may be exploited to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user who is running the application. The vulnerability is considered remotely exploitable in nature because malicious ACE archives will likely originate from an external, untrusted source.
