Atomic Alarm Clock 6.3 contains a stack overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious string to the display name textbox in the Time Zones Clock configuration. Attackers can craft a buffer with structured exception handling overwrite and encoded shellcode to bypass SafeSEH protections and execute arbitrary commands with application privileges.
