Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Heap-based Buffer Overflow in Format Plugins versions 1.1.1 and earlier. It can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. Exploitation requires the victim to open a malicious file, meaning user interaction is necessary.
