Descriptions

Microsoft Windows PDF Library in Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 and R2, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, due to the way that Windows PDF Library handles objects in memory, aka "Windows PDF Remote Code Execution Vulnerability". This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2017-8728.

La biblioteca de PDF de Microsoft Windows en Microsoft Windows 8.1 y Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 y R2, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703 y Windows Server 2016 permite a un atacante ejecutar código remotamente en el contexto del usuario actual por la manera en la que la biblioteca de PDF de Windows maneja los objetos en la memoria. Esto también se conoce como "Windows PDF Remote Code Execution Vulnerability". El ID de este CVE es distinto a CVE-2017-8728.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows PDF Library. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JPEG2000 images. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
