tool, is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability when
extracting .cab files. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw to
cause a denial-of-service or, potentially the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running gcab, if a specially
crafted .cab file is processed.");
