Discussion

HT Editor File Handling Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

HT Editor is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently bounds-check user-supplied input.

Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application.

Other unspecified buffer-overflow issues may affect the application as well, but details about such issues are currently unavailable.

Versions of HT Editor prior to 2.0.6 are vulnerable.
