Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in PDFLib allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename argument to the PDF_load_image function that results in an overflow in the pdc_fsearch_fopen function, and possibly other vectors.
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.
