Description:
felinemenace has reported a vulnerability in BMV, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error in the "openpsfile()" function when allocating memory to store the file offsets of each page in a PS file. This can be exploited to cause a heap corruption, which may allow arbitrary code execution via a specially crafted PS file.
Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into opening a malicious PS file.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
