VULHUB ™

eMule client has been reported prone to a double free vulnerability. It has been reported that when the eMule client receives a specific sequence of packets from a malicious server, a memory object is freed from reserved memory. Under some circumstances the same object may be freed again at a later event, which may ultimately allow an attacker to exploit this condition to execute arbitrary supplied instructions in the context of the vulnerable eMule application. Failed exploitation attempts will result in a denial of service of the affected client.
