TITLE:
AutoMate unacev2.dll Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA19890

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19890/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
AutoMate 6.x
http://secunia.com/product/9491/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in AutoMate, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in UNACEV2.DLL
when extracting an ACE archive containing a file with an overly long
filename. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow when a user extracts a specially crafted ACE archive.

The vulnerability is related to:
SA16479

Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into
scheduling a task to extract a malicious ACE archive.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 6.1.0.0. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not extract untrusted ACE archives.

The vendor initially reported that a fix would be published on
2006-05-29, but this has not been confirmed.
