3) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in AutoMate, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in UNACEV2.DLL 
when extracting an ACE archive containing a file with an overly long
filename. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow
when a user extracts a specially crafted ACE archive.

The vulnerability is related to:
SA16479

Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into
scheduling a task to extract a malicious ACE archive.

====================================================================== 
4) Solution 

The vendor reportedly released a fix on 2006-05-29.

Do not extract untrusted ACE archives.
