Business Objects Crystal Reports XI Professional Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Business Objects Crystal Reports XI Professional is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing a victim user into opening a malicious document file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Mitigation:
Users should avoid opening untrusted documents and should ensure that all software is kept up to date.
