A vulnerability was found in XnView 1.90.3 (Image Processing Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown functionality of the component XPM File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Stack-based buffer overflow in XnView 1.90.3 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted XPM file with a long section string. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The weakness was shared 04/23/2007 with Marsu (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at exploit-db.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2007-2194 since 04/24/2007. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

After even before and not, there has been an exploit disclosed. The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 25719 (GLSA-200707-06 : XnView: Stack-based buffer overflow), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Gentoo Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

The best possible mitigation is suggested to be disabling the affected component. A possible mitigation has been published 3 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (33810), Exploit-DB (3777), Tenable (25719), SecurityFocus (BID 23625†) and OSVDB (35235†).
