TITLE:
Orbital Viewer ".orb" File Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38720
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38720/
DESCRIPTION:
mr_me has discovered a vulnerability in Orbital Viewer, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
".orb" files, which can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow when a user is tricked into opening a specially crafted
".orb" file.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.04. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Don't open ".orb" files from untrusted sources.
Use another product.
