PassFab RAR Password Recovery 9.3.2 contains a structured exception handler (SEH) buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious payload. Attackers can craft a payload with a buffer overflow, NSEH jump, and shellcode, then paste it into the 'Licensed E-mail and Registration Code' field during registration to trigger code execution.
