A flaw was found in the hivex library. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted Windows Registry (hive) file, which would cause hivex to recursively call the _get_children() function, leading to a stack overflow. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

A flaw was found in the hivex library in versions before 1.3.20. It is caused due to a lack of bounds check within the hivex_open function. An attacker could input a specially crafted Windows Registry (hive) file which would cause hivex to read memory beyond its normal bounds or cause the program to crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

lib/handle.c in Hivex before 1.3.11 allows local users to execute arbitrary code and gain privileges via a small hive files, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in ArchiveXpert 2.02 build 80 allow remote attackers to create files in arbitrary directories via a .. (dot dot) in a (1) .gz, (2) .jar, (3) .rar, (4) .tar.gz, (5) .zip, or (6) .tar file.

WebArchiveX.dll 5.5.0.76 installed before September 6th, 2005 is marked safe for scripting by default, which allows remote attackers to read or write to arbitrary files via the (1) MakeArchive or (2) MakeArchiveStr methods.
