IMPACT:
System access
WHERE:

DESCRIPTION:
Tan Chew Keong has reported some vulnerabilities in ALPass, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A boundary error exists within the "Import Site Information"
feature when decrypting the file-key of an an ALPass DB File (APW)
file. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by
e.g. tricking a user into importing information from a specially
crafted APW file.
Successful exploitation allows execution if arbitrary code.
2) A format-string error exists within the handling of path names
when importing information from an APW file. This can be exploited to
crash the application and may potentially allow the execution of
arbitrary code by e.g. tricking a user into importing information
from a specially crafted APW file.
3) An error exists within the handling of the size information of
encrypted records within an APW file. This can be exploited to cause
a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into importing
information from a specially crafted APW file.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.72 (English) and 3.02
(Korean).
SOLUTION:
Update to 2.74 (English).
Reportedly, an updated Korean version will be available soon.
