Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in SlimPDF Reader, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error when processing PDF files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted file.

This vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.

2) Some vulnerabilities exist due to unspecified errors. No further information is currently available.

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires tricking a user into opening a malicious file.


Solution
Do not open PDF files from untrusted sources.

Provided and/or discovered by
1) Jason Kratzer and Nicolas Krassas.
