Descriptions
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.13.02rc2 has a heap-based buffer over-read in the function tokenize in asm/preproc.c, related to an unterminated string.
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.13.02rc2 tiene una sobrelectura de búfer basada en memoria dinámica (heap) en la función tokenize en asm/preproc.c. Esto se relaciona con una cadena no finalizada.
It was discovered that NASM incorrectly handled certain source files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted source file, a remote attacker could use these issues to cause NASM to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
