Title: ACDSee XPMHeaders Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
ACDSee is a photo viewer available for multiple platforms.
The application is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
The problem occurs when handling a specially crafted 'XPM' file with an excessively large 'XPMHeader'.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
This issue affects ACDSee 9.0; other versions may also be vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- ACD Systems Inc ACDSee Photo Manager 9.0
- ACD Systems Inc ACDSee Quick View 9.0
