A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the XML Decompression DecodeTreeBlock functionality of AT&T Labs Xmill 0.7. In the default case of DecodeTreeBlock a label is created via CurPath::AddLabel in order to track the label for later reference. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
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.
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
