In simple terms, it allows data to be written into memory beyond the allocated buffer, potentially overwriting other critical data or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-34195-remote-code-execution-vulnerability-in-vasion-print-virtual-appliance-host-and-application\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"90145\">executable code<\/a>.<br \/>\nIn the context of CVE-2025-49573, a malicious actor can craft a file that, when opened in Substance3D-Modeler, triggers this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-32468-critical-memory-corruption-vulnerability-in-sail-image-decoding-library\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"90059\">memory corruption<\/a>, leading to arbitrary code execution.
