TITLE:
MPLAB IDE Project File Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35054

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35054/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in MPLAB IDE, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error when adding menu items can be exploited to cause
a stack-based buffer overflow via e.g. an overly long "[FILE_INFO]"
entry in an MPLAB project file (".mcp").

2) A boundary error when processing project file entries can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via e.g. an overly
long "[CAT_FILTERS]" entry in an MPLAB project file (".mcp").

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 8.30. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files with MPLAB IDE.
