Summary

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in ZipGenius versions 5.5.1.468 and 6.0.2.1041, and other versions before 6.0.2.1050, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ZIP archive with a long filename, a long original name in UUE/XXE/MIM files, or an ACE archive with a long filename.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code on the victim's computer, leading to full system compromise, data theft, or malware installation.

Recommendation

Immediately update ZipGenius to version 6.0.2.1050 or later. Avoid opening unknown ZIP, UUE, XXE, MIM, and ACE archives from untrusted sources.
