Heap-based buffer overflow in the cdf_read_sat function in src/cdf.c in Christos Zoulas file 5.00 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted compound document file, as demonstrated by a .msi, .doc, or .mpp file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-1515 is a memory corruption flaw in file 5.00. If a user or workflow processes a malicious compound document, the software may allow attacker-controlled code execution. The source bundle does not show active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where file 5.00 is installed and used to inspect untrusted compound document files. This may include manual file identification or automated content handling workflows that process .msi, .doc, or .mpp files. Treat as high priority for legacy systems because the impact is code execution, but urgency depends on whether file 5.00 still exists in production workflows handling untrusted documents. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems running file 5.00.; Apply vendor or distribution updates for file.; Review Mandriva and Debian advisories for package-specific guidance..
