Description:
Limin Wang has reported a vulnerability in csv2xml, allowing malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the "get_field_headers()" function, which is used when converting csv files into xml format. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted csv document.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that a user is tricked into converting a malicious csv document.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.5.1. Prior versions may also be affected.
