Visualization Library DAT File Parsing

Visualization Library DAT File Parsing
Posted Apr 15, 2010
Site secunia.com

Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Visualization Library, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerabilities are caused by boundary errors within the "vl::loadDAT()" and "vl::isDAT()" functions in src/vl/vlDAT.cpp. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted DAT file. Visualization Library version 2009.08.812 is affected.
