The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in memory, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code using a specially crafted file. An attacker who successfully exploits this issue could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user has administrative rights, the attacker could take control of the affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. Users with limited user rights may be less impacted than those operating with administrative rights.
