Progress 4GL Compiler Datatype Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been discovered in the Progress 4GL Compiler. The problem lies in the processing of user-defined data types when compiling .p Progress files. A defined data type with a width of excessive size may trigger a buffer overrun within the compiler, effectively corrupting adjacent process memory.

This vulnerability may ultimately be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the compiler.
