DescriptionNVD

xfpt versions prior to 1.01 fails to handle appropriately some parameters inside the input data, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. When a user of the affected product is tricked to process a specially crafted file, arbitrary code may be executed on the user's environment.

AnalysisAI

xfpt versions prior to 1.01 fails to handle appropriately some parameters inside the input data, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability could allow attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. xfpt versions prior to 1.01 fails to handle appropriately some parameters inside the input data, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. When a user of the affected product is tricked to process a specially crafted file, arbitrary code may be executed on the user's environment. Affected products include: Philiphazel Xfpt. Version information: prior to 1.01.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
