Local code execution via SEH overwrite
Published Jan 29, 2026 · Updated Jan 29, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in TongSoft Audio Playback Recorder 3.2.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary code through crafted input. The eject-output and registration-name fields accept oversized pasted strings into a fixed stack buffer, allowing the payload to replace the Structured Exception Handler and redirect execution to shellcode. Exploitation requires local interaction with the Windows application to paste payloads into both fields; successful exploitation runs code in the application's security context.
