NASM IEEE_PUTASCII Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

NASM is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue affects the 'ieee_putascii()' function.

An attacker likely exploits this issue by crafting a malicious source file to be assembled by the application. This file is sent to an affected user; if the user loads the file in NASM, the attack may result in arbitrary code execution.

The attacker may then gain unauthorized access in the context of the user running NASM.
