What is CVE-2021-34859?

This vulnerability enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable TeamViewer installations by exploiting a flaw in the parsing of TVS files. The exploitation requires user interaction, where the target must visit a malicious web page or open a malformed file. The root cause of this issue is a lack of adequate validation for user-supplied data, potentially causing memory corruption. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute code within the context of the affected process.
