Leon Juranic reported multiple heap-based buffer overflows for instance
|
|
in the ReadAEDRList64(), SearchForRecord_r_64(), LastRecord64(), and
|
|
CDFsel64() functions.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CDF
|
|
file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
|
|
privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
