      Windows Shell ZIP File Decompression DUNZIP32.DLL Buffer Overflow
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    eEye Digital Security has discovered a buffer overflow in DUNZIP32.DLL, a
    module that offers support for ZIP compressed folders in the Windows
    shell. An exploitable buffer overflow occurs when a user opens a ZIP
    folder that contains a long file name.

    DETAILS

    This buffer overflow is triggered by an integer overflow. When a ZIP file
    containing a long file name (greater than around 0x8000 bytes) is opened
    in the Windows shell as a ZIP compressed folder, a stack-based buffer
    overflow occurs, allowing an exception handler to be overwritten and EIP
    to be hijacked.

    Vendor Status:
    Microsoft has released a patch for this vulnerability. The patch is
    available at:
