Description

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the get_header function in header.c for LHA 1.14, as used in products such as Barracuda Spam Firewall, allow remote attackers or local users to execute arbitrary code via long directory or file names in an LHA archive, which triggers the overflow when testing or extracting the archive.
