Code execution via unchecked BMP buffer write
Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Sep 18, 2024
Out-of-bounds write in the BMP parser in Tungsten Automation Power PDF before 5.0.0.16 allows context-dependent attackers to execute code. The parser insufficiently validates crafted BMP data before writing it past the end of an allocated object. A target must open a malicious file or visit a page that supplies it; successful exploitation runs code with the current process's rights.
