      ALZip Multiple Archive Handling Buffer Overflow
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    " <http://www.altools.net/Default.aspx?tabid=47> ALZip is the easiest to
    use, most powerful, and by far the cutest compression utility available."

    A buffer overflow vulnerability in ALZip allows attackers to cause the
    program to execute arbitrary code.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * ALZip version 6.12 (Korean)
     * ALZip version 6.1 (International)
     * ALZip version 5.52 (English)

    Immune Systems:
     * ALZip version 6.13 (International)

    The vulnerability is caused due to multiple boundary errors when reading
    the filename of a compressed file from ALZ, ARJ, ZIP, UUE or XXE archives.
    This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow (ALZ), or a
    heap-based buffer overflow (ARJ / ZIP / UUE / XXE).

    Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a
    malicious ALZ / ARJ archive is opened, or when a ZIP / UUE / XXE archive
    is extracted.
