Summary

Microsoft Visual Basic 6 is susceptible to multiple stack-based buffer overflows that allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service through specially crafted Visual Basic Project (vbp) files. These files, containing overly long entries in the Description or Company Name fields, could lead to significant CPU consumption or unwanted operations, severely affecting system integrity.
