A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in Hyleos ChemView 1.9.5.1. This affects an unknown function of the file HyleosChemView.ocx of the component View ActiveX Control. The manipulation of the argument filename with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the HyleosChemView.HLChemView ActiveX control (HyleosChemView.ocx) in Hyleos ChemView 1.9.5.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of white space characters in the filename argument to the (1) SaveasMolFile and (2) ReadMolFile methods.
