4) Description of Vulnerability
Secunia Research has discovered three vulnerabilities in UltraISO,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.
1) A boundary error when parsing CIF files can be exploited to
overflow a global buffer by tricking a user into opening a specially
crafted CIF file.
2) A boundary error when parsing C2D files can be exploited to
overflow a global buffer by tricking a user into opening a specially
crafted C2D file.
3) Insufficient validation when parsing GI files can be exploited to
overflow a global buffer by tricking a user into opening a specially
crafted GI file.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
