Discussion
MATLAB 'dtoa' Implementation Memory Corruption Vulnerability
MATLAB is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability because the software fails to properly bounds-check data used as an array index.
Attackers may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of affected applications.
MATLAB R2009b is affected; other versions may also be vulnerable.
