This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of PDF-XChange Editor. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of U3D files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-20944.

GHSA-VC3M-HCQ5-8VHR
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-05 18:33 – Updated: 2026-05-08 15:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reset register ID for BPF_END value tracking
When a register undergoes a BPF_END (byte swap) operation, its scalar
value is mutated in-place. If this register previously shared a scalar ID
with another register (e.g., after an r1 = r0 assignment), this tie must
be broken.
Currently, the verifier misses resetting dst_reg->id to 0 for BPF_END.
Consequently, if a conditional jump checks the swapped register, the
verifier incorrectly propagates the learned bounds to the linked register,
leading to false confidence in the linked register's value and potentially
allowing out-of-bounds memory accesses.
Fix this by explicitly resetting dst_reg->id to 0 in the BPF_END case
to break the scalar tie, similar to how BPF_NEG handles it via
__mark_reg_known.

Mitigation MIT-5
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
- To reduce the likelihood of introducing an out-of-bounds read, ensure that you validate and ensure correct calculations for any length argument, buffer size calculation, or offset. Be especially careful of relying on a sentinel (i.e. special character such as NUL) in untrusted inputs.
Mitigation
Strategy: Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
CAPEC-540: Overread Buffers
An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
