+ <description>
+ <p>
+ In November 2005, Zone-H Research reported a boundary error in the
+ ktools library in the VGETSTRING() macro of kkstrtext.h, which may
+ cause a buffer overflow via an overly long input string.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to use a malicious file or input,
+ which could lead to the crash of Motor and possibly the execution of
+ arbitrary code.

+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
