CVE-2018-25303: Allok Video to DVD Burner 2.6.1217 Buffer Overflow SEH

Allok Video to DVD Burner 2.6.1217 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the License Name field that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering a structured exception handler (SEH) overwrite. Attackers can craft a malicious input string with 780 bytes of junk data followed by SEH chain pointers and shellcode, then paste it into the License Name field during registration to achieve code execution.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Allok Video to DVD Burner 2.6.1217, a consumer DVD-authoring tool, has a flaw in its product registration screen. A user who pastes a specially crafted string into the License Name field can crash the program and run code on their own machine. This is a local issue tied to a niche, legacy desktop application, not an internet-exposed service. Exposure is limited to endpoints where this specific Alloksoft product (version 2.6.1217) is installed and run. The vulnerability is local-only and requires the user to paste an attacker-supplied license string, so blast radius is per-host rather than enterprise-wide. No CPE coverage was published, complicating automated discovery. Low to moderate business priority. This affects a niche consumer DVD tool, requires local user action, and is not known to be exploited in the wild. Treat as standard hygiene: remove the application where it has no legitimate use and avoid emergency change windows unless inventory shows broad install. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Allok Video to DVD Burner 2.6.1217 and remove if not business-required.; Block installation of unsanctioned consumer media tools via application allowlisting.; Warn users not to paste license keys received from untrusted sources..
