Technical details

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the OGWU file parser due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data, allowing writes before the start of an allocated buffer. User interaction (opening a malicious file or visiting a malicious page) is required. Exploitation results in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process.
