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

archive containing a file with an overly long filename is opened.

Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution.
