Technical details
---------------------------------------------------------------

A PDF file format parsing vulnerability exists in the pdf2tif
parser and can be exploited with a specially crafted input
file. The plugin suffers from a buffer overflow flaw.

Many server side applications use the library when converting
pdf files to images. If an attacker is able to send the
application a malicious file, successful exploitation leads to
code being executed in the context of the running application.

Upgrade to the latest version of the pdf2tif.dll.
