TITLE:
Alleycode HTML Editor Optimizer Multiple Buffer Overflows

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36940

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36940/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Alleycode HTML Editor,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

1) A boundary error exists in the Meta Content Optimizer when
displaying the content of "TITLE" HTML tags. This can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an HTML file defining an
overly long "TITLE".

2) Two boundary errors exist in the Meta Content Optimizer when
displaying the content of "META" HTML tags. These can be exploited to
cause stack-based buffer overflows via HTML files defining overly long
"description" or "keywords" "META" elements.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of
arbitrary code, but requires that a user is tricked into running the
Meta Content Optimizer on a malicious HTML file.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.21. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not process untrusted HTML files.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) Rafael Sousa
2) an anonymous person
