Application crash via overlong Computer Name input
Published Mar 30, 2026 · Updated Mar 30, 2026
Buffer overflow in Eusing Software Free IP Switcher 3.1 allows local users to crash the application through the Computer Name field. The Activate action processes a 240-character Computer Name value without enforcing the destination buffer's bounds, causing an out-of-bounds write. Exploitation requires local interaction with the graphical interface to paste the value and click Activate; only an application crash is demonstrated.
