Heap-based buffer overflow in the get_answer function in mmsh.c in libmms before 0.6.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long line in an MMS over HTTP (MMSH) server response.
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.
