Descriptions
PDF-XChange Editor OXPS File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of PDF-XChange Editor. 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 OXPS 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. Was ZDI-CAN-19655.
Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código de desbordamiento de búfer de almacenamiento dinámico en el análisis de archivos OXPS del editor PDF-XChange. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de PDF-XChange Editor. Se requiere la interacción del usuario para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. La falla específica existe en el análisis de archivos OXPS. El problema se debe a la falta de una validación adecuada de la longitud de los datos proporcionados por el usuario antes de copiarlos en un búfer basado en montón de longitud fija. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. Era ZDI-CAN-19655.
