VULHUB ™

It has been reported that XShisen may be prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability due to insufficient boundary checking of user-supplied input. The problems are reported to exist due to the improper handling of user-supplied data from '-KCONV' command line parameter. It may be possible to cause a buffer overflow condition by supplying more than 100 bytes of data. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to ultimately execute arbitrary code in the context of the user who is running the vulnerable software in order to gain unauthorized access to a system. XShisen version 1.51 has been reported to be prone to these issue however other versions may be affected as well.
