Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Iceni Argus (unknown version). Affected is an unknown code block of the component PDF Font Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An exploitable heap-based buffer overflow exists in Iceni Argus. When it attempts to convert a PDF containing a malformed font to XML, the tool will attempt to use a size out of the font to search through a linked list of buffers to return. Due to a signedness issue, a buffer smaller than the requested size will be returned. Later when the tool tries to populate this buffer, the overflow will occur which can lead to code execution under the context of the user running the tool.

The bug was discovered 02/27/2017. The weakness was released 02/27/2017 by Cisco with Cisco Talos (Website). The advisory is available at talosintelligence.com.
