CVE-2008-4420: Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in DZIP32.DLL before 5.0.0.8 in DynaZip Max and DZIPS32.DLL before 6....

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in DZIP32.DLL before 5.0.0.8 in DynaZip Max and DZIPS32.DLL before 6.0.0.5 in DynaZip Max Secure; as used in HP OpenView Performance Agent C.04.60, HP Performance Agent C.04.70 and C.04.72, TurboZIP 6.0, and other products; allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename in a ZIP archive during a (1) Fix (aka Repair), (2) Add, (3) Update, or (4) Freshen action, a related issue to CVE-2006-3985.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects older DynaZip compression components embedded in several products. A specially crafted ZIP archive with an overly long filename could trigger memory corruption when a user repairs, adds, updates, or freshens the archive, potentially allowing code execution. Risk depends on whether legacy DynaZip-based software remains deployed. Exposure is most likely in legacy Windows software or enterprise monitoring installations bundling affected DynaZip DLLs. The source bundle names DynaZip Max, DynaZip Max Secure, TurboZIP 6.0, HP OpenView Performance Agent C.04.60, and HP Performance Agent C.04.70/C.04.72. Prioritize investigation if legacy HP monitoring agents or DynaZip-based applications remain in production. This is an old, user-assisted flaw, but potential code execution makes unresolved exposure unacceptable on business-critical systems handling external archives. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for the named DynaZip DLLs and listed products.; Update DZIP32.DLL to 5.0.0.8 or later where vendor-supported.; Update DZIPS32.DLL to 6.0.0.5 or later where vendor-supported..
