Stack-based buffer overflow in Dawningsoft PowerCHM 5.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTML file with a link to a long URL, as demonstrated by a .rar URL.
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.
