HighMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
DaviewIndy versions 8.98.7 and earlier
Description
The issue is triggered when a user opens a malformed DIB format file, which is mishandled by Daview.exe, leading to a Heap-based overflow. This could allow attackers to exploit the issue and achieve arbitrary code execution.
Recommendations
For versions 8.98.7 and earlier, update to a version that fixes this issue to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of Daview.exe to open DIB format files from untrusted sources until a patch is available.
