CVE-2019-25569Public exploit

Local application crash via Echo Port overflow

Published Mar 21, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in RealTerm Serial Terminal 2.0.0.70 allows local users to crash the application through the Echo Port field. Processing a crafted string with 268 padding bytes and SEH overwrite values writes beyond the stack buffer and corrupts the exception-handler chain. Access to the running Windows GUI and the ability to paste into the Port field are required; the documented consequence is a process crash only.
