Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: gAlan version 0.2.1

Description: gAlan, a modular audio processing environment for Windows, is susceptible to a stack-based buffer overflow when processing .galan files. The application does not properly validate the length of input data, potentially allowing a crafted file to overwrite the stack and execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires local interaction, typically achieved by convincing a user to open a malicious file.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
