Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Lattice Semiconductor PAC-Designer
6.21. As a .pac file, when supplying a long string of data to the 'value' field
under the 'SymbolicSchematicData' tag, it is possible to cause a memory corruption
on the stack, which results in arbitrary code execution under the context of the
user.
