CVE-2023-51610

Information disclosure via invalid JP2 object access

Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Sep 18, 2024

Use-after-free in Tungsten Automation Power PDF 5.0.0.57 allows remote attackers to disclose process memory through crafted JP2 content. The JP2 parser fails to verify that an object exists before performing operations on it, leaving a freed object accessible during file processing. Exploitation requires a user to open a malicious file or visit a malicious page; code execution requires chaining the disclosure with another flaw.
