An exploitable Stack Based Buffer Overflow vulnerability exists in the EnumMetaInfo function of Aspose Aspose.Words library, version 18.11.0.0. A specially crafted doc file can cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in remote code execution. An attacker needs to provide a malformed file to the victim to trigger this vulnerability.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
