Stack-based buffer overflow in Orbit Downloader 2.8.2 and 2.8.3, and possibly other versions before 2.8.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP URL with a long host name, which is not properly handled when constructing a "Connecting" log message.
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.
