      KillProcess "FileDescription" Local Buffer Overflow
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    "The <http://orangelampsoftware.com/> KillProcess application can
    terminate almost any application on an PC running Microsoft Windows,
    including Windows Services and applications being debugged (but not while
    at a breakpoint) in a matter of a millisecond."

    Lack of proper length checking allows attackers to cause the KillProcess
    to execute arbitrary code by overflowing one of its internal buffers.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * KillProcess version 2.20 and prior

    A malicious .exe file with a long FileDescription in its version resource
    can generate a buffer overflow in KillProcess, which in turn can be used
    to cause it to execute arbitrary code.
