[Full-Disclosure] LHa repercussions: WinZip, WinRar, CommuniGate Pro McAfee plugin, blog

[Ulf Härnhammar <Ulf.Harnhammar.9485@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to various sources on the net, the vulnerable LHa code has been used
in other products.

SecurityFocus says that WinZip and WinRar also are vulnerable to the LHa buffer
overflows:

I have found a mailing list discussion about my LHa test archives crashing the
McAfee plugin for CommuniGate Pro:

I haven't had the time to verify either of those problems personally.

There is also a blog entry about the security implications of everyone using the
same LHa code (thanks to Kreiger for telling me about it):
