Description
A heap buffer overflow in the XML Text Escaping component of Qualisys C++ SDK commit a32a21a allows attackers to cause Denial of Service (DoS) via escaping special XML characters.
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the XML Text Escaping component of Qualisys C++ SDK, specifically in commit a32a21a. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) by escaping special XML characters.
