CHMlib is a library for the MS CHM (Compressed HTML) file format plus
|
|
|
|
|
extracting and HTTP server utils.

|
|
|
|
When certain CHM files that contain tables and objects stored in pages
|
|
|
|
|
are parsed by CHMlib, an unsanitized value is passed to the alloca()
|
|
|
|
|
function resulting in a shift of the stack pointer to arbitrary memory
|
|
|
|
|
locations.

<impact type="normal">

|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CHM file,
|
|
|
|
|
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of
|
|
|
|
|
the user viewing the file.

<workaround>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

<resolution>
|
|
|
|

<p>
|
|

All CHMlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
