Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27337)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of PDF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27348)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the parsing of TIF files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted TIF file and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27345)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of PDF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27344)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of PDF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27343)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of EMF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted EMF file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


6) Untrusted Pointer Dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27342)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to untrusted pointer dereference within the parsing of EMF files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted EMF file and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


7) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27341)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of TIF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TIF file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27340)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of PNG files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PNG file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


9) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27339)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of PNG files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PNG file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27338)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the parsing of TIF files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted TIF file and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
