An exploitable stack based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the ipNameAdd functionality of Iceni Argus Version 6.6.04 (Sep 7 2012) NK - Linux x64 and Version 6.6.04 (Nov 14 2014) NK - Windows x64. A specially crafted pdf file can cause a buffer overflow resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker can send/provide malicious pdf file to trigger this vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious PDF opened or processed by specific Iceni Argus 6.6.04 builds can cause memory corruption and potentially run attacker-controlled code. The issue requires PDF handling by a user or workflow, but no prior authentication. Business urgency is high if Argus processes files from customers, partners, or the internet. Exposure appears limited to the named Iceni Argus 6.6.04 NK Linux x64 and Windows x64 builds. Risk is highest where Argus processes externally supplied PDFs or automated document queues. Treat as high priority only where affected Argus builds are present. The impact can be full system compromise, but practical exposure depends on whether the organization uses Argus to handle untrusted PDFs. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for the affected Iceni Argus 6.6.04 builds.; Check Iceni or vendor guidance for fixed versions or replacement options.; Restrict Argus processing of untrusted PDFs until remediation is confirmed..
