A buffer overflow vulnerability in Code::Blocks 17.12 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted project file.
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow.
