Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—

Stack-based buffer overflow in the ctags parsing code in Programmer's Notepad before 2.0.8.718 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted .c file, when the victim selects the Jump To dialog. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
