leading to code execution on victim’s computer with system
privileges.

An attacker, authenticated on the domain, can connect to the
computer and send a malicious "user subscription" request, which
corrupts the memory. [grav:3/4; CVE-2008-1457]

An attacker, authenticated on the domain, can call a method with
an array of function pointers as parameter, and use a malicious
range of indexes in order to corrupt the memory. [grav:3/4;
CVE-2008-1456]
