An exploitable heap corruption vulnerability exists in the loadTrailer functionality of Iceni Argus version 6.6.05. A specially crafted PDF file can cause a heap corruption resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker can send/provide a malicious PDF file to trigger this vulnerability.
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.
