Abstract Advisory Information:
==============================
An independent vulnerability laboratory researcher discovered a local buffer 
overflow vulnerability in the official ChiefPDF Software Clients v2.0.


Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline:
==================================
2015-08-20: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory)


Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
ChiefPDF Software
Product: PDF to Image Converter PDF to Image Converter Free, PDF to Tiff 
Converter & PDF  2.0


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Local


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered  in the official 
ChiefPDF Software Clients v2.0.
The buffer overflow vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers to 
compromise a target system or 
to gain higher access privileges for further exploitation.

The buffer overflow vulnerability is located in the `Registration - License 
Name` input field of the software client.
The issue is a classic unicode buffer overflow vulnerability that allows an 
attacker to compromise the local system.
The vulnerability can be exploited in all software clients like the PDF to 
Image Converter 2.0, PDF to Image Converter 
Free 2.0, PDF to Tiff Converter 2.0 and PDF to Tiff Converter Free 2.0.

The security risk of the buffer overflow vulnerability is estimated as high 
with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 7.3. 
Exploitation of the vulnerability requires a low privilege system user account 
and no user interaction. Successful exploitation of the 
vulnerability results in system compromise by elevation of privileges via 
overwrite of the registers.

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Registration - License Name

Vulnerable Program(s):
                                [+] PDF to Image Converter 2.0
                                [+] PDF to Image Converter Free 2.0
                                [+] PDF to Tiff Converter 2.0
                                [+] PDF to Tiff Converter Free 2.0


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The local buffer overflow vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers 
with restricted system user account without user interaction.
