Local code execution via 264-byte field overflow
Published Mar 24, 2026 · Updated Mar 24, 2026
Buffer overflow in Fresh Software X-NetStat Professional 5.63 allows local users to execute arbitrary code through crafted field input. HTTP Client URL, Rules Run Program, or bulk IP-list fields accept oversized content that overruns a 264-byte stack buffer and overwrites EIP. Exploitation requires local access to the Windows GUI and runs injected shellcode with the application's privileges.
