An exploitable buffer overflow exists in the XLS parsing of the Lexmark Perspective Document Filters conversion functionality. A crafted XLS document can lead to a stack based buffer overflow resulting in remote code execution.
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.
