CVE-2024-41902

Code execution via crafted PDF parsing

Published Oct 8, 2024 · Updated Oct 8, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Siemens JT2Go before 2406.0003 allows attackers to execute code through a crafted PDF file. Siemens identifies PDFJTExtractor.exe as the removable parsing component but does not disclose the specific routine or unchecked operation that overruns the stack buffer. A user must open the malicious file, after which code runs with the privileges of the JT2Go process and the application can also crash.
