⚠️ A sneaky buffer overflow could let attackers execute arbitrary code just by sending a long filename! 🤯 Think of it like a waiter who brings extra-large orders to the kitchen without checking if the chefs can handle them — too much can overwhelm the system, leading to chaotic consequences! If exploited, this could allow a remote attacker to hijack the License Client, leading to unauthorized access and control over your system. That's like giving a stranger the keys to your digital kingdom! 🔥
