ZipTV TZipTV ARJ header buffer overflow
| tziptv-arj-header-bo (28785) |  High Risk |
Description:
The TZipTV component in ZipTV is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking of large ARJ headers. By sending an ARJ archive with an overly large header block, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system when the malicious archive is opened.
