Description:
Tacettin Karadeniz has discovered a vulnerability in JaguarEditControl, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in JaguarEditControl.dll when copying an overly long string supplied via the Jtext parameter to a heap-based buffer. This causes heap corruption and can potentially be exploited for code execution.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is tricked into visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1,1,0,18. Other versions may also be affected.
