3) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in PowerArchiver,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when reading the
filename of a compressed file from an ACE/ARJ archive. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a malicious
archive containing a file with an overly long filename is opened.

Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution.
