Descriptions

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Autonomy (formerly Verity) KeyView Viewer, Filter, and Export SDK before 9.2.0.12, as used by ActivePDF DocConverter, IBM Lotus Notes before 7.0.3, Symantec Mail Security, and other products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) AG file to kpagrdr.dll, (2) AW file to awsr.dll, (3) DLL or (4) EXE file to exesr.dll, (5) DOC file to mwsr.dll, (6) MIF file to mifsr.dll, (7) SAM file to lasr.dll, or (8) RTF file to rtfsr.dll. NOTE: the WPD (wp6sr.dll) vector is covered by CVE-2007-5910.

Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer basados en pila en el Autonomy (antiguamente Verity) KeyView Viewer, en el Filter y en el Export SDK anterior al 9.2.0.12, como el utilizado en el ActivePDF DocConverter, en el IBM Lotus Notes anterior al 7.0.3, en el Symantec Mail Security y en otros productos, permiten a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de modificaciones en (1) el fichero AG del kpagrdr.dll, (2) en el fichero AW del awsr.dll, (3) en el fichero DLL o el (4) EXE del exesr.dll, (5) en el fichero DOC del mwsr.dll, (6) en el fichero MIF del mifsr.dll, (7) en el fichero SAM del lasr.dll o (8) en el fichero RTF del rtfsr.dll. NOTA: el vector WPD (wp6sr.dll) se trata en la vulnerabilidad CVE-2007-5910.

Several vulnerabilities exist in the popular Verity KeyView SDK used in many enterprise applications like IBM Lotus Notes. When parsing several different file formats a standard stack overflow occurs allowing a malicious user to gain complete control of the affected machine under the rights of the currently logged in user. The problem lies when copying user supplied data to a stack based buffer without any boundary conditions.
The following file formats have been identified as vulnerable:
Adobe Acrobat FrameMaker - .mifApplix Words - .awMicrosoft Rich Text Format - .rtfPortable Executable - .exeDynamic Link Library - .dllApplix Presents - .agMicrosoft Word - .doc
