AIDA64 Denial-of-Service Vulnerability

A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in AIDA64 version 5.50.2100. This vulnerability allows local attackers to crash the application by exploiting the file open functionality. Attackers can create a 450-byte buffer filled with repeated characters and paste it into the file open dialog, triggering an application crash.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability leads to a crash of the AIDA64 application, causing a denial-of-service condition.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, first generate a text file containing a 450-byte buffer of repeated characters. This can be done using a simple Python script. After creating the file, open AIDA64 and navigate to the file open dialog. Paste the contents of the generated text file into the dialog and proceed to open the file. The application will crash, demonstrating the denial-of-service vulnerability.
