CVE-2005-1187: X-Ways Software Technology AG Winhex

Medium severity, CVSS 5.1. EPSS: 2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Heap-based buffer overflow in WinHex 12.05 SR-14, and possibly other versions, may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long file name argument. NOTE: since this overflow is in the command line of an unprivileged program, it is highly likely that this is not a vulnerability.
