A local overflow exists in AdPlug . AdPlug fails to handle specialy crafted DMO files when unpacking them resulting in an heap overflow. A length value read directly in the header of the DMO file is not properly checked or sanitized when being used to allocate a buffer. A heap overflow could occur while unpacking the file allowing for the execution of arbitrary code.
