DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Flash Slideshow Maker,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors when processing
Flash Slideshow Maker Project files (*.fss). These can be exploited to
cause heap-based buffer overflows by tricking a user into opening a
specially crafted file containing e.g. an overly long "Photo_Data"
element or overly long "Title", "Description", or "Url" attribute of
the "Photo_Data" element.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted Flash Slideshow Maker Project files.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Bui Quang Minh, BKIS.
