Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Scalabium dBase Viewer version 2.6 (Build 5.751)
Description:
The issue allows for remote code execution via a crafted DBF file, which triggers a buffer overflow. An attacker can utilize the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) records to redirect execution to attacker-controlled code.
Recommendations:
For Scalabium dBase Viewer version 2.6 (Build 5.751), consider avoiding the use of crafted DBF files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the opening of DBF files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
