Title: ACD Systems ACDSee Photo Album File Description Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
ACDSee is an image viewing, conversion and management tool for Microsoft Windows based machines. ACDSee defines a Photo Album file format, associated with the .ais file extension.
The .ais file is text formatted, with each line containing an absolute path and image followed by a description. Reportedly, including a description longer than 256 characters may cause a buffer overflow condition in ACDSee.
Allegedly, while the image files will load and display properly, ACDSee will crash when the file properties are viewed. In the event that this is caused by a buffer overflow, it may prove possible to execute arbitrary code through exploitation of this vulnerability. This possibility has not, however, been confirmed.
There have been conflicting reports about the existence of this flaw.
