CVE-2023-42039

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Kofax Power PDF Advanced (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the parsing of PDF files, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. This requires user interaction, such as visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file. The problem arises from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
