An exploitable heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Windows enhanced metafile parser of Atlantis Word Processor, version 3.2.5.0. A specially crafted image embedded within a document can cause an undersized allocation, resulting in an overflow when the application tries to copy data into it. An attacker must convince a victim to open a document in order to trigger this vulnerability.
