Internet Download Manager File Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Internet Download Manager File Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Internet Download Manager (IDM) is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

NOTE: This vulnerability may be related to the issue described in BID 14159 (Internet Download Manager Buffer Overflow Vulnerability), but this has not been confirmed.

We don't know which versions of IDM are affected. We will update this BID when more information emerges.
