Title: ACDSee Products Plugins ID_X.APL and IDE_ACDSTD.APL Multiple Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
ACDSee Products are applications designed to manage and edit digital photographs.
ACDSee Products are prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because they fail to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into insufficiently sized buffers.
The issues occur when the 'ID_X.apl' or 'IDE_ACDStd.apl' plugins handle XBM or XPM files that contain overly long 'section' strings.
An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
These issues affect:
ACDSee Photo Manager 9.0
ACDSee Pro Photo Manager 8.1
ACDSee Photo Editor 4.0
Other versions may also be vulnerable.
Update: Reportedly ACDSee Photo Manager 10.0 is vulnerable to the issue affecting XBM file handling.
Affected Products:
- ACD Systems Inc ACDSee Photo Editor 4.0
- ACD Systems Inc ACDSee Photo Manager 10.0
- ACD Systems Inc ACDSee Photo Manager 8.1
- ACD Systems Inc ACDSee Photo Manager 9.0
