TITLE:
eXeScope Input File processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34413
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34413/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in eXeScope, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the application not properly
handling input files. This can be exploited to cause a buffer
overflow via a specially crafted input file (e.g. *.exe, *.dll,
*.ocx, or *.vbx).
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 6.50. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not open files from untrusted sources in the application.
