VCDGear File Format Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

VCDGear is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently check boundaries of user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

Remote attackers may exploit this issue by enticing victims into opening a malicious file using the affected application.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of an unsuspecting user. A successful attack can facilitate the compromise of vulnerable computers. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects VCDGear 3.56; other versions may also be vulnerable.
