Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Kingdia CD Extractor 3.0.2 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the registration name field that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. Attackers can craft a malicious payload exceeding 256 bytes to overwrite Structured Exception Handler and gain remote code execution through a bind shell.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Kingdia CD Extractor 3.0.2 contains a buffer overflow in the registration name field where a payload exceeding 256 bytes can overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH), enabling arbitrary code execution through a bind shell for remote code execution.

MitigationAvoid using Kingdia CD Extractor 3.0.2; replace with maintained CD ripping software or, if continued use is required, run the application in an isolated virtual machine with network segmentation to limit exposure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate Kingdia CD Extractor installation
    Search for 'Kingdia CD Extractor' in Windows Add/Remove Programs, or check common installation directories such as C:\Program Files\Kingdia or C:\Program Files (x86)\Kingdia. Also search for the executable file 'Kingdia CD Extractor.exe' on the system.
    Affected if The application is found installed on the system.
  2. Determine installed version
    Right-click the Kingdia CD Extractor executable, select Properties, and inspect the Version tab to obtain the precise version number. Alternatively, check the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for the installed version entry.
    Affected if The version displayed is 3.0.2.
  3. Verify registration feature exists
    Launch Kingdia CD Extractor and navigate to the registration or 'Enter Registration Code' option in the Help or main menu. This is the feature that contains the vulnerable registration name input field.
    Affected if The application provides a registration name input field.
  4. Assess exposure to crafted input
    Review whether any untrusted user or external entity can supply input to the registration name field. This could occur through: (1) manual entry by any user of the system, or (2) a file or script that loads a crafted registration name into the application.
    Affected if A user or process can input more than 256 characters into the registration name field.

A user is affected if Kingdia CD Extractor version 3.0.2 is installed and the registration name field can accept more than 256 bytes of input, allowing SEH overwrite and potential code execution.
