What is CVE-2024-30373?

A significant security flaw exists in Kofax Power PDF related to the parsing of JPF files, enabling remote attackers to manipulate data that leads to an out-of-bounds write condition. This vulnerability arises from inadequate validation of user-supplied input, which may permit writes beyond the allocated boundaries of memory objects. Successful exploitation necessitates user interaction, specifically requiring the victim to view a malicious webpage or open a malformed file. Once the flaw is exploited, an attacker can execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the affected application, potentially compromising the integrity and confidentiality of the user's system.
