    Alfredo Ortega (Core Security Technologies) reported a boundary error
    within the Read32s_64() function when processing CDF files.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CDF
    file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of the user running the application.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
