Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
CVE-2013-3664
Summary
Trimble SketchUp (formerly Google SketchUp) before 2013 (13.0.3689) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted color palette table in a MAC Pict texture, which triggers an out-of-bounds stack write. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-3662. NOTE: this issue was SPLIT due to different affected products and codebases (ADT1); CVE-2013-7388 has been assigned to the paintlib issue.

CWE-119 - Buffer Overflow
Buffer overflow attacks involve data transit and operations exceeding the restricted memory buffer, thereby corrupting or overwriting data in adjacent memory locations. Such overflow allows the attacker to run arbitrary code or manipulate the existing code to cause privilege escalation, data breach, denial of service, system crash and even complete system compromise. Given that languages such as C and C++ lack default safeguards against overwriting or accessing data in their memory, applications utilizing these languages are most susceptible to buffer overflows attacks.
