Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in NASM, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) An off-by-one error exists within the "ppscan()" function in preproc.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow with a zero byte by tricking the user into assembling a specially crafted ASM file.
2) A boundary error within the "list_output()" function in listing.c can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow with 4 bytes.
NOTE: 0.x versions are not affected by this vulnerability.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
