Background

PLIB includes sound effects, music, a complete 3D engine, font rendering, a simple Windowing library, a game scripting language, a GUI, networking, 3D math library and a collection of handy utility functions.

Description

A stack-based buffer overflow within the error function of ssg/ssgParser.cxx was discovered in PLIB.

Impact

A remote attacker, by enticing a user to open a specially crafted 3d model file, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.

Workaround
