7-Zip ARJ File Handling Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 23750

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a library that is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The remote host contains a version of the open source 7-Zip file archiver and included in third-party products such as Knownsoft's Turbo Searcher.

The version of this software installed on the remote host contains a buffer overflow in its ARJ file handling library that is triggered when handling an ARJ block greater than 2600 bytes. If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into opening a specially crafted ARJ archive file, he can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the host subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Either contact the application's vendor for an update or upgrade to 7-Zip 4.27 beta (4.27.0.0) or later.
