CVE-2023-42038

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 Kofax Power PDF Advanced software when processing PDF files. This can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. The flaw exists within the parsing of PDF files due to the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability, such as visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file.

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