Subtitle Processor 7.7.1 SEH Unicode Buffer Overflow
This exploit takes advantage of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Subtitle Processor version 7.7.1. By sending a specially crafted Unicode buffer, an attacker can overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) and gain control of the program's execution flow. The exploit includes a shellcode that executes the Windows calculator (calc.exe) as a proof of concept.
Mitigation:
The vendor should release a patch or update to fix the buffer overflow vulnerability in Subtitle Processor. In the meantime, users can mitigate the risk by avoiding opening subtitle files from untrusted sources.
