An issue was discovered in ytnef before 1.9.1. This is related to a patch described as "3 of 9. Buffer Overflow in version field in lib/tnef-types.h."
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.
