A remote overflow exists in Visual Studio. Visual Studio fails to perform proper boundary checks within the handling of ".dbp" files that contain an overly long string in the "DataProject" field, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
