Discussion

Typespeed Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Typespeed is susceptible to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of affected applications, aiding them in the compromise of affected computers.

Typespeed versions 0.4.1 and 0.4.4 are vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
