DESCRIPTION:
Cn4phux has discovered a vulnerability in DesignWorks Professional,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
".cct" files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via a specially crafted ".cct" file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 4.3.1 and 5.0.7. Other
versions may also be affected.
