Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in MicroP 0.1.1.1600 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .mppl file. NOTE: it has been reported that the overflow is in the lpFileName parameter of the CreateFileA function, but the overflow is probably caused by a separate, unnamed function.

An exploit or proof of concept is public: anyone can try it against an unpatched system. The public collections list a Metasploit module and 3 Exploit-DB entries for it. 3 references of the record are tagged as an exploit.
