Description
Microsoft Windows contains an overflow condition in the Windows Help facility. The issue is triggered as the Windows Help File Viewer (winhlp32.exe) does not properly validate user-supplied input when parsing Windows Help files. With a specially crafted HLP file, a context-dependent attacker can cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially execution of arbitrary code.
