1) Insecure DLL loading (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33871)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to the "Driver" parameter for the "opvp"/"oprp" device specifies the name of a dynamic library and allows any library to be loaded. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted document to the application and execute arbitrary library on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the affected system.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33870)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling oaths. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.

3) Format string error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29510)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a format string error. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted input that contains format string specifiers and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33869)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling oaths. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.


5) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29511)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences when Tesseract is used for OCR. A remote attacker can view arbitrary files on the system.
