Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in MicroP 0.1.1.1600 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .mppl file. NOTE: it has been reported that the overflow is in the lpFileName parameter of the CreateFileA function, but the overflow is probably caused by a separate, unnamed function.
