PoC : http://blog.bkis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/photodvdmaker_poc.pdm 2. Technical Description PDM files are used to store essential information about a Photo DVD Maker Professional Project (in XML format). The software performs inadequate check for the length of a File_Name tag. This results in a critical buffer overflow error when set with an overly long value. In order to exploit, a hacker might create a specially crafted ?.pdm? file and trick users into using it. If successful, hackers can perform local attack, inject viruses, steal sensitive information and even take control of the victim?s system. 3. Solution Rating this vulnerability high severity and due to the fact that the vendor hasn?t released any patch against this vulnerability, Bkis recommends that users should not open any untrusted PDM file.
