NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream plib package and not the plib package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the error function in ssg/ssgParser.cxx in PLIB 1.8.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted 3d model file that triggers a long error message, as demonstrated by a .ase file.
