Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in PEiD, 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 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.

According to the vendor, the vulnerability only affects version 0.92.
