ActivePDF Toolkit < 8.1.0 multiple RCE
Introduction
============
The ActivePDF Toolkit is a Windows library which enhances business
processes to stamp, stitch, merge, form-fill, add digital signatures,
barcodes to PDF. Both .NET and native APIs are provided. Amongst many
other operations, this library can be used by applications to transform
images to PDF files.
Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in the Pictview image processing
library embedded by the Toolkit and signed by ActivePDF. They could allow
remote attackers to compromise applications relying on the Toolkit to
process untrusted images. Note that, while the example instances hereafter
use “exotic” file types, the parser determines the image type from magic
bytes, ignoring file extensions in most cases.

CVE-2018-7264
=============
ActivePDF Toolkit < 8.1.0.19023 multiple RCE
Summary
-------
An image processing library embedded in the ActivePDF Toolkit product is
prone to multiple BSS out-of-bound and signedess errors which can yield
direct EIP control by overwriting function pointers, error handling
structures or IAT entries. Note that the affected library does not enable
ASLR.
Reproduction
------------
The following scripts can be used to generate crafted image files which
achieve EIP control when parsed or converted by the ActivePDF Toolkit (e.g.
via the ImageToPDF method), through different root causes. These examples
can be reproduced through both the .NET and native APIs and independently
from file extensions, however the .NET layer will hide the native crashes
and return -1. This may crash the library with a lock on, so only use in
test environments.

Remediation
-----------
Upgrade to ActivePDF Toolkit >= 8.1.0 (build 8.1.0.19023), which fixes the
problem by removing the affected image processing library. Note that this
also fixes the similar ZDI-16-354 vulnerability.
For more information and guidance, please contact the ActivePDF support
through their portal (https://support.activepdf.com).
