TecR0c has discovered a vulnerability in ZipWrangler, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
certain ZIP files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially
crafted ZIP file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2. Other versions may
also be affected.
