libopenbabel.so is vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The vulnerability exists when parsing an input file via ReadMolecule at msiformat.cpp, which allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code using a specially crafted malformed file due to an uninitialized pointer in the MSI format atom functionality.
