A Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability exists within the parsing of PRJ files. The issues result from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in different memory corruption issues within the application, such as reading and writing past the end of allocated data structures.
Solution:
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().
