VULHUB ™

UnAce has been reported to be prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. The issue presents itself when UnAce handles ace filenames that are of excessive length. When this filename is passed to the UnAce utility as an argument, the string is copied into a reserved buffer in memory. Data that exceeds the size of the reserved buffer will overflow its bounds and will trample any saved data that is adjacent to the affected buffer. Ultimately this may lead to the execution of arbitrary instructions in the context of the user who is running UnAce.
