The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of project files (".chmprj"). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted project file defining an overly long "FileName" parameter. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code by tricking a user into importing and compiling a specially crafted project file. This is related to: SA34514 The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.11. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open untrusted ".chmprj" files.
