|
UnAce: Buffer overflow and directory traversal vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200502-32 (UnAce: Buffer overflow and directory traversal vulnerabilities) Ulf Harnhammar discovered that UnAce suffers from buffer overflows when testing, unpacking or listing specially crafted ACE archives (CVE-2005-0160). He also found out that UnAce is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks, if an archive contains "./.." sequences or absolute filenames (CVE-2005-0161). Impact A possible hacker could exploit the buffer overflows to execute malicious code or the directory traversals to overwrite arbitrary files. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
