Discussion

XPDF MAKEFILEKEY2 Function Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

xpdf is reported prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue exists because the applications fails to perform proper boundary checks before copying user-supplied data in to process buffers. A remote attacker may execute arbitrary code in the context of a user running the application. This can result in the attacker gaining unauthorized access to the vulnerable computer.

It is reported that this issue presents itself in the 'Decrypt::makeFileKey2' function residing in the 'xpdf/Decrypt.cc' file.

This issue is reported to affect xpdf 3.00, however, it is likely that earlier versions are prone to this vulnerability as well. Applications using embedded xpdf code may be vulnerable to this issue as well.
