Description:
Lord Yup has reported a vulnerability in IDA Pro, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the parsing of the PE (Portable Executable) import directory. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PE file containing overly long import library names.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code when a malicious PE file is opened.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions 4.6 Service Pack 1 and 4.7 on Windows and Linux. Other versions may also be affected.
