The Full Story

Severity: High Mood: Frustrating

Users of Delta Electronics ASDA-Soft versions 7.2.2.0 and older are currently staring down a buffer overflow triggered by nothing more than a dodgy .par file. It is a nostalgic trip back to the nineties where arbitrary code execution was a standard feature for anyone feeling adventurous. Avoid this charmingly vintage threat by updating your software and treating every unexpected file like it is carrying the digital plague, which it inevitably is.
