The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the handling of LZH files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted LZH file is extracted. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with the user's privileges. A potential integer underflow vulnerability has also been reported. The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.52. Prior versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to version 1.53.
