Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in the parsing process of SFD files due to improper validation of user-supplied data length before copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution by convincing a user to open a specially crafted SFD file or visit a malicious page.
