Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability
in the latest version 3.5 of TugZip archiving utility.
In order to trigger the vulnerability, an attacker must convince someone
to load a specially crafted zip file with TugZip by double click or file open.
By doing so, an attacker can execute arbitrary code as the victim user.
