It occurs in the registration name field, where an attacker can exploit structured exception handling (SEH) by inputting a specially crafted malicious text file.

How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system with potentially high impact. Successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the system, including unauthorized access, data manipulation, or installation of malicious software.
