DESCRIPTION:
j00ru has discovered a vulnerability in WinImage, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when
extracting IMG or ISO files. This can be exploited to extract files
to arbitrary directories on the system (e.g. the "All Users" startup
folder) via a specially crafted IMG or ISO file containing directory
traversal modifiers in a file or a directory name.

NOTE: Other types of image files may also be affected.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 8.10. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not extract untrusted image files.
