Heap-based buffer overflow in the activePDF Server service (aka APServer.exe) in activePDF Server 3.8.4 and 3.8.5.14, and possibly other versions before 3.8.6.16, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a packet with a size field that is less than the actual size of the data.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
