High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Buffer overflow in LHA allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long pathnames in LHarc format 2 headers for a .LHZ archive, as originally demonstrated using the 'x' option but also exploitable through 'l' and 'v', and fixed in header.c, a different issue than CVE-2004-0771.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of remote code execution by an attacker, which could lead to system compromise, data theft, or further propagation of the attack within the network.

Recommendation

Immediately update LHA to a version containing the fix in header.c. If an update is unavailable, avoid opening .LHZ archives from untrusted sources.
