Description

Microsoft Foundation Classes Library is prone to an overflow condition. The 'UpdateFrameTitleForDocument' method in the 'CFrameWnd' class in 'mfc42.dll' fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted long window title, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
