TITLE:
News Rover NZB File Processing Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24216

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24216/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
News Rover 12.x
http://secunia.com/product/13519/

DESCRIPTION:
Marsu Pilami has discovered a vulnerability in News Rover, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
NZB files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via a specially crafted NZB file with an overly long (around
2035 bytes) group or subject string.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code but
requires that the user is tricked into e.g. opening a malicious NZB
file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 12.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted NZB files.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Marsu Pilami
