What is CVE-2024-8812?

This vulnerability involves a flaw in the handling of U3D files within the PDF-XChange Editor. Specifically, the absence of sufficient validation for user-supplied data leads to an out-of-bounds read, allowing an attacker to manipulate the process's memory. By enticing a user to visit a compromised web page or open a malicious document, remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. The threat underscores the importance of secure coding practices and the continual updating of software to mitigate potential attack vectors.
