Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in KDE sc up to 4.5.0. Affected by this issue is the function TranscribePalmImageToJPEG of the file generators/plucker/unpluck/image.cpp. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the RLE decompression functionality in the TranscribePalmImageToJPEG function in generators/plucker/inplug/image.cpp in Okular in KDE SC 4.3.0 through 4.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted image in a PDB file.

The weakness was presented 08/25/2010 by Stefan Cornelius with Secunia Research (Website). The advisory is available at kde.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2010-2575 since 07/01/2010. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.
