The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing ZIP files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into e.g. double clicking a ZIP entry having an overly long filename. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.400. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not process untrusted ZIP files with the application.
