Stack-based buffer overflow in LexRuby.cxx (SciLexer.dll) in Scintilla 1.73, as used by notepad++ 4.1.1 and earlier, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain Ruby (.rb) files with long lines. NOTE: this was originally reported as a vulnerability in notepad++.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
