Description

Pinnacle Hollywood FX contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to compromise a user's system. The issue is triggered by an input validation error in InstallHFZ.exe while opening Hollywood FX archives. It is possible that the flaw may allow a context-dependent attacker to write files to arbitrary directories through archives which contain directory traversal sequences included within the compressed filename resulting in a loss of integrity.
