Summary
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of PDF-XChange Editor. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of XPS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-18278.

"value": "Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar c\u00f3digo arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de PDF-XChange Editor. Se requiere la interacci\u00f3n del usuario para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una p\u00e1gina maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. La falla espec\u00edfica existe en el an\u00e1lisis de archivos XPS. El problema se debe a la falta de validaci\u00f3n adecuada de un valor proporcionado por el usuario antes de eliminar la referencia a \u00e9l como puntero. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar c\u00f3digo en el contexto del proceso actual. Era ZDI-CAN-18278."
