Heap-based buffer overflow in OLEStream::WriteVT_LPSTR in olestrm.cpp in libfpx 1.3.1_p6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted fpx image.
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.
