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.
Solution:
Update to version 1,1,0,19.
Provided and/or discovered by:
