Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LibOFX version 0.9.11

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the tag parsing functionality. This can be triggered by a specially crafted OFX file, causing a write out of bounds and resulting in a buffer overflow on the stack. An attacker can construct a malicious OFX file to exploit this issue.

Recommendations For LibOFX version 0.9.11, consider avoiding the use of the tag parsing functionality until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of OFX files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
