7.5
HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
XnView versions prior to 2.13
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via two methods:
(1) the
Csiz parameter in a SIZ marker, which triggers an incorrect memory allocation,
or (2) the lqcd field in a QCD marker in a crafted JPEG2000 file, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.Recommendations:
For versions prior to 2.13, update to version 2.13 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of crafted JPEG2000 files that could trigger the heap-based buffer overflow.
Restrict access to the Xjp2.dll module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
