Autonomy KeyView wkssr.dll Integer Underflow Vulnerability

Autonomy KeyView wkssr.dll Integer Underflow Vulnerability
Posted Jul 28, 2010
Authored by Carsten Eiram | Site secunia.com

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Autonomy KeyView, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused by an integer underflow error in the SpreadSheet Lotus 123 reader (wkssr.dll) when parsing the size of a specific record type. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. Autonomy KeyView versions 10.4 and 10.9 are affected.
