A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists within the WECON LeviStudioU Release Build 2019-09-21 and prior when processing project files. Opening a specially crafted project file could allow an attacker to exploit and execute code under the privileges of the application.
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
