VB2C Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

VB2C is prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability occurs due to the application's failure to properly check boundaries before copying user-supplied data into sensitive process buffers. An attacker can exploit this issue by crafting a malicious FRM file containing excessive string data, replacement memory addresses, and executable instructions. If a user processes the file through the application, the attacker's instructions may be executed, potentially compromising the vulnerable computer.

Mitigation:

It is recommended to update to a patched version of VB2C or to apply any relevant security patches provided by the vendor.
