Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in NJStar Word Processor, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of font names read from a NJStar document file (".njx"). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution when a malicious ".njx" file is opened.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in the following products:
* NJStar Japanese Word Processor 5.01.41108.
* NJStar Chinese Word Processor 5.01.41108.
The vendor has reported that the vulnerability also affects NJStar Chinese/Japanese Word Processor versions 4.x and 5.0x.
