Discussion
SciTE '.txt' File Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
SciTE is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
SciTE 1.76 is vulnerable; other versions may be affected as well.
