Discussion

Internet Download Manager Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Internet Download Manager is susceptible to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check input data prior to copying it into a fixed size memory buffer.

This vulnerability allows attackers to overflow a memory buffer, overwriting adjacent memory regions. This allows attackers to influence the normal flow of execution of the application, potentially leading to arbitrary machine code execution in the context of the user executing the vulnerable application.

Internet Download Manager version 4.05 and prior are reported to be vulnerable to this issue.
