The vulnerability in Softdisk 3.0.3 is a buffer overflow in the registration code dialog. It occurs when a local attacker inputs an excessively large string—specifically a 6000-byte payload—into the Registration Name field accessed via the Help menu's Enter Registration Code dialog.
This oversized input causes the application to crash, leading to a denial of service condition.
