CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Hex Workshop 5.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20882/

DESCRIPTION:
Encrypt3d.M!nd has discovered a vulnerability in Hex Workshop, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing
of color map files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow by tricking the user into selecting a color map file
containing an overly long hex sequence.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.1.4.4188. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not select untrusted color map (*.cmap) files.
