Discussion

BreakPoint Software Hex Workshop '.hex' File Handling Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Hex Workshop is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately validate user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

Hex Workshop 3.11 through 6.0.1.4603 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
