CVE-2007-2956

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.8)—

Stack-based buffer overflow in the readRadianceHeader function in (1) src/fileformat/rgbeio.cpp in pfstools 1.6.2 and (2) src/Fileformat/rgbeio.cpp in Qtpfsgui 1.8.11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Radiance RGBE (.hdr) file.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
