Code execution via PDF parser out-of-bounds write
Published Nov 22, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024
Out-of-bounds write in PDF-XChange Editor 10.2.1.385 allows remote attackers to execute code when a user opens a crafted PDF file. The PDF parser fails to validate attacker-controlled data before writing it, allowing a write past the end of an allocated object. Exploitation requires user interaction and runs code with the privileges of the current application process.
