Michael Kohn VB2C FRM File Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
VB2C is reported prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue arises because the application fails to carry out proper boundary checks before copying user-supplied data in to sensitive process buffers. It is reported that this issue can allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a computer in the context of the application. An attacker can exploit this issue by crafting a malicious FRM file that contains excessive string data, replacement memory addresses, and executable instructions to trigger this issue. If a user obtains this file and processes it through the application, the attacker-supplied instructions may be executed on the vulnerable computer. It is reported that successful exploitation may result in a compromise in the context of the application. VB2C version 0.02 is reported prone to this vulnerability. It is likely that other versions are affected as well. |
