high Nessus Plugin ID 207517

Language:

Synopsis

A PDF editing application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of PDF-XChange Editor installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 10.4.0.387. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A specific flaw exists within the parsing of XPS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. (CVE-2024-8838)

 - A specific flaw exists within the parsing of JB2 files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. (CVE-2024-8840)

 - A specific flaw exists within the parsing of XPS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
 (CVE-2024-8837)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to PDF-XChange Editor version 10.4.0.387 or later.
