Description

 A remote overflow exists in ZipGenius. "zipgenius.exe", "zg.exe", "zgtips.dll", and "contmenu.dll" fail to perform proper bounds checking, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted ZIP archive containing a compressed file with an overly long filename, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
