Descriptions

chmlib before 0.39 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted page block length in a CHM file, which triggers memory corruption.

chmlib anterior a la 0.39 permite a atacantes con la intervención del usuario ejecutar código de su elección mediante la manipulación de un largo bloque de una página en el fichero CHM, lo que dispara una corrupción de memoria.

When certain CHM files that contain tables and objects stored in pages are parsed by CHMlib, an unsanitized value is passed to the alloca() function resulting in a shift of the stack pointer to arbitrary memory locations. Versions less than 0.39 are affected.
