Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in TUGZip, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling an ARJ archive containing a file with an overly long filename. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution when a malicious ARJ file is opened. The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 3.4.0.0. Other versions may also be affected.
