Description
Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt LI File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Read Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of LI files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read before the start of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-25354.

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a flaw in Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt's LI file parsing that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. It occurs because the software does not properly validate user-supplied data, leading to an out-of-bounds read before the start of an allocated buffer. Exploiting this requires user interaction, such as visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

If exploited, this vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected process, potentially leading to full compromise of the system or application. This can result in unauthorized access, data theft, or disruption of services.
