CVE-2022-40655

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NIKON NIS-Elements Viewer version 1.2100.1483.0

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the parsing of ND2 files due to the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For NIKON NIS-Elements Viewer version 1.2100.1483.0, consider disabling the ND2 file parsing functionality until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of remote code execution. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
