Motion is prone to an off-by-one buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Successfully exploiting this issue may compromise the affected application and possibly the underlying computer. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
