The vulnerability is caused due to the incorrect processing of malformed packets within the "ZCom_processInput()" function. This can be exploited to trigger a double free error by sending specially crafted packets to an application using the "ZCom_processInput()" function of the library. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.6.7. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Deny access from untrusted sources to applications linked against the Zoidcom library. The vulnerability will reportedly be fixed in version 0.6.8.
