Faleemi Desktop Software CVE-2019-25691: Buffer Overflow Bypasses DEP
The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has detailed a high-severity local buffer overflow (CVE-2019-25691) in Faleemi Desktop Software version 1.8. This vulnerability, impacting the System Setup dialog, allows attackers to effectively bypass Data Execution Prevention (DEP) protections through structured exception handling exploitation.
According to NVD, an attacker can inject a specially crafted payload into the “Save Path for Snapshot and Record file” field. This triggers the buffer overflow, enabling the execution of arbitrary code via Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) chain gadgets. The CVSS score for this flaw is 8.4, classifying it as HIGH severity, with a vector indicating local access, low attack complexity, and no privileges required, leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This is a classic CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write) scenario, a common pitfall that, even in older software, can lead to complete system compromise if not addressed.
