DESCRIPTION:
Lincoln has discovered a vulnerability in Archive Searcher, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
ZIP archives, which can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow by e.g. tricking a user into searching in a specially
crafted ZIP archive.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not search in untrusted ZIP archives or directories containing
untrusted ZIP archives.
