iDEFENSE Security Advisory 2010-03-04.1

iDefense Security Advisory 03.04.10 – Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability in Autonomy’s KeyView Filter SDK allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the targeted application. This vulnerability occurs when processing specially crafted documents. When processing such a document, the software reads an integer value from the file and uses this integer, without validation, in an arithmetic operation to calculate the amount of memory to allocate. If a sufficiently large number is supplied, the calculation overflows, resulting in a buffer of insufficient size being allocated. The software then proceeds to copy data into this under-sized buffer. This results in an exploitable heap buffer overflow condition.
