TITLE:

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35078

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35078/

DESCRIPTION:
pyrokinesis has discovered a vulnerability in Pinnacle Hollywood FX,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in
InstallHFZ.exe when opening Hollywood FX archives (".hfz"). This can
be exploited to write files to arbitrary directories via archives
containing directory traversal sequences in the compressed filename.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version InstallHFZ.exe version
6.5.201.0. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted ".hfz" files.
