DESCRIPTION:
Tan Chew Keong has reported a vulnerability in Turbo Searcher, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the 7-Zip ARJ
plugin when processing an archive with an overly large ARJ block.
This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when
performing a search in a directory containing a specially crafted ARJ
archive.

Successful exploitation requires that the "Quick Search" option is
disabled and the "Search in compressed file" option is enabled.

The vulnerability is reported in the following versions:
* Turbo Searcher Standard Edition v3.30
* Turbo Searcher Network Edition v3.30

SOLUTION:
Do not search untrusted ARJ archives.

The vendor is reportedly working on a patch.
