A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the MFER parsing functionality of The Biosig Project libbiosig 3.9.0 and Master Branch (35a819fa). A specially crafted MFER file can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.This vulnerability manifests on line 8824 of biosig.c on the current master branch (35a819fa), when the Tag is 11:

else if (tag==11) //0x0B
{
// Fs
if (len>6) fprintf(stderr,"Warning MFER tag11 incorrect length %i>6\n",len);
double fval;
curPos += ifread(buf,1,len,hdr);
