3) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in NJStar Word
Processor, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
handling of font names read from a NJStar document file (".njx").
This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow.
