Multiple Hitachi Products GIF Image Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Multiple Hitachi Products GIF Image Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Multiple Hitachi products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

Given the nature of this issue, successful exploits may lead to remote code execution, but this has not been confirmed.

The vulnerability resides in the following software components:

Cosminexus
Processing Kit for XML
Hitachi Developer's Kit for Java

These components are included in various other Hitachi products.
