Mobipocket Reader CHM File Handling Remote Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 59108

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an eBook reader that is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

All versions of Mobipocket Reader are potentially affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability.

The application does not properly validate user input and can allow crafted 'CHM' files to either crash the application or execute arbitrary code if an attack is successful.

Note that Mobipocket Reader is no longer supported which implies no new security patches will be released.

Solution

Remove the software as it is no longer supported.
