CVE-2012-5324

Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—

Multiple buffer overflows in the Pdf Printer Preferences ActiveX Control in pdfxctrl.dll in Tracker Software PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the (1) sub_path parameter to the StoreInRegistry function or (2) sub_key parameter to the InitFromRegistry function.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
