SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31615

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31615/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
SoftArtisans XFile 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/19647/

DESCRIPTION:
Will Dormann has reported some vulnerabilities in SoftArtisans XFile,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the
"BuildPath()", "GetDriveName()", "DriveExists()", and "DeleteFile()"
methods provided by the FileManager (SAFmgPws.dll) ActiveX control.
These can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows when a
user is tricked into visiting a malicious website.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.4.0.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.4.0 or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
