Descriptions
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit PhantomPDF Phantom PDF 9.1.5096. 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 handling of PDF documents. When parsing shading patterns, the process does not properly validate user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-6223.
Esta vulnerabilidad permite que los atacantes remotos ejecuten código arbitrario en instalaciones vulnerables de Foxit PhantomPDF Phantom PDF 9.1.5096. Se requiere de interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad en la que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. Este error en concreto existe en la gestión de documentos PDF. Al analizar patrones de shading, el proceso no valida correctamente los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede dar como resultado un desbordamiento de enteros antes de asignar un búfer. Un atacante podría aprovecharse de esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del actual proceso. Anteriormente era ZDI-CAN-6223.
