Title: My Getright Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
MyGetright is a download manager for Windows.
The program accepts custom "skins" from remote websites. A '.dld' file is used to specify paths to various resources, including graphics, file permissions, etc.
If the maliciously-composed .dld file lists pathnames which contain long sequences of extraneous data, the program's skin data can be mis-parsed, causing the program's user interface to freeze. Note that while the program itself continues the current download, this effectively permits a remote malicious user to carry out a denial of service attack.
Affected Products:
- Headlight Software My Getright 1.0.0b1
- Headlight Software My Getright 1.0.0b2
- Headlight Software My Getright 1.0.0b3
- Headlight Software My Getright 1.0.0b4
