compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling

"applicatiotn/x-vend.aol.dnupdater2.1") and can be exploited to cause
a buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into visiting a specially
crafted website.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3.0.0. Other versions may
also be affected.
