Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities when parsing a specially crafted file in Esri ArcReader, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine 10.8.1 (and earlier) and ArcGIS Pro 2.7 (and earlier) allow an unauthenticated attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades de desbordamiento de búfer cuando se analiza un archivo especialmente diseñado en Esri ArcReader, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine versiones 10.8.1 (y anteriores) y ArcGIS Pro versiones 2.7 (y anteriores), permiten a un atacante no autenticado lograr una ejecución de código arbitrario en el contexto del usuario actual

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Esri ArcReader. 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 PMF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
