TITLE:
Internet Download Manager Language File Processing Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34092

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34092/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Internet Download Manager,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
the caption for e.g. toolbar buttons. This can be exploited to cause
a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into using a
specially crafted language file.

Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the victim downloads and uses a malicious language
file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.15 build 6. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not use untrusted language files.
