HTTP: BreakPoint Software Hex Workshop hex File Handling Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against BreakPoint Software. A successful attack can lead to a stack-based overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.
Extended Description
Hex Workshop is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately validate user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions. Hex Workshop 3.11 through 6.0.1.4603 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
