libextractor <= 0.5.13 Multiple Heap Overflow PoC Exploits
libextractor is prone to multiple heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to version 0.5.14 or later.
