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.

It was discovered that xfpt did not properly manage memory under certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code.
