IDM v6.20 Local Buffer Overflow
IDM v6.20 Local Buffer Overflow is a local exploit which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Internet Download Manager. The vulnerability is due to a boundary error within the processing of the username field when configuring a VPN/Dial Up connection. By sending a specially crafted string, an attacker can overwrite the EIP register and control the flow of execution. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by sending a malicious string to the username field when configuring a VPN/Dial Up connection.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Internet Download Manager.
