Discussion
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Project Description Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
