GFL SDK Library Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

GFL SDK library is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this issue may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the library. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

GFL SDK 2.870 is vulnerable. The issue also affects XnView 1.91 and 1.92, which use the library, and NConvert 4.85; other versions may be affected as well.
