    A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the get_answer function

Impact :

    A remote attacker might send a specially crafted MMS over HTTP (MMSH)
      response, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
      with the privileges of the process.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
