CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
News File Grabber 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/13520/

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

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing NZB files
and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted
NZB file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the user is tricked into e.g. opening a malicious NZB
file and double-clicking on the displayed selection or right-click
and selecting "View Article" or "View Message headers".

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.1.0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted NZB files.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
