TITLE:
PowerCHM HTML Help Project Processing Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34186

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34186/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in PowerCHM, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
HTML Help Project (".HHP") files. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow via e.g. an overly long filename in the
"[FILES]" section of an HTML Help Project file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.7. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted HTML Help Project files using the application.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
