Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in the DMS::InternalDecode function. An attacker can hijack the program's control flow by overwriting a return address to point to a libc function (ret2libc) and execute arbitrary code or cause a crash by providing specially crafted input that triggers a buffer overflow.
