What is CVE-2018-25360?

AgataSoft Auto PingMaster version 1.5 is impacted by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability, which is present in the Trace Route host name field. This flaw enables local attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging structured exception handling. By crafting a malicious ping.txt file embedded with shellcode and precise jump instructions, an attacker can overwrite the SEH handler pointer. When the content of this file is processed by the application, it leads to undesirable code execution outcomes.
