CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Magic ISO Maker 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/9624/

DESCRIPTION:
Sowhat has discovered a vulnerability in Magic ISO Maker, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when
extracting files from an ISO image. This makes it possible to have
files extracted to arbitrary locations outside the specified
directory using the "../" directory traversal sequence.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 5.2 (build 190), and
also reported in version 5.0 Build 0166. Other versions may also be
affected.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerability will reportedly be fixed in the next build.

Do not extract untrusted ISO files.

To reduce the risk, never extract files as an administrative user.
