Post by Loïc » Sat Oct 04, 2008 12:52 pm

To all GdPicture Toolkits users:

On 1 October 2008, a vulnerability has been identified in some GdPicture Toolkits, which could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of an affected system. This issue is caused by GdPicture ActiveX controls including the SaveAsPDF() method which could be exploited by attackers to create malicious files on a vulnerable system and execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.

This error has been fixed the 2 October 2008.

- GdPicture Light Imaging Toolkit
- GdPicture Pro Imaging SDK
- GdTwain ActiveX
