Description: The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the MrSID plugin, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an IMAGE tag. This can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 4.37, update to version 4.37 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the MrSID plugin until a patch is available.
