    ===============
    1) Introduction
    ===============
    
    
    From vendor's website:
    "Cytel, the acknowledged leader in exact statistical methods, helped
    pioneer exact methods for binary logistic regression and multinomial
    regression."
    "First introduced in 1987, LogXact is unequivocally the fastest and
    most powerful logistic regression analysis software available today."
    "With StatXact, Cytel's own powerful algorithms make exact inferences
    by permuting the actually observed data, eliminating the need for
    distributional assumptions."

    2) Bugs
    =======
    
    
    -------------------------
    A] strings stack overflow
    -------------------------
    
    Buffer overflow during the copying of the strings in a stack buffer
    of 256 bytes.
    
    
    ------------------------
    B] rows integer overflow
    ------------------------
    
    There is an integer overflow in the handling of the rows.
    The number of rows (first element of the second line in the file) is
    multiplied by the size of the elements (8 for floats, 4 for strings
    and so on) and the allocated memory gets overflowed when the elements
    are copied one by one.
    At the moment I have not seen ways to exploit this vulnerability to
    execute code so I report it just as reference.
    
    Both the A and B problems are exploitable with the CY3 ("StatXact 5.0
    data") and the CYL ("LogXact data") files.
    
    
    -------------------------
    C] CYB USE stack overflow
    -------------------------
    
    Stack overflow in the handling of the USE command of the CYB files.
