A remote out of bound write vulnerability exists in the TIFF parsing functionality of Core PHOTO-PAINT X8 version 18.1.0.661. A specially crafted TIFF file can cause a vulnerability resulting in potential memory corruption. An attacker can send the victim a specific TIFF file to trigger this vulnerability. This vulnerability only exists in the 64-bit version.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Corel PHOTO-PAINT X8 64-bit has a high-severity TIFF parsing flaw. A malicious TIFF file could corrupt memory when opened, potentially affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack requires a user to receive and open the file. Exposure is limited to systems running Corel PHOTO-PAINT X8 64-bit version 18.1.0.661 that process TIFF files, especially files received from external parties, email, downloads, or shared media workflows. Treat this as high priority where legacy Corel PHOTO-PAINT is still used with external image files. Business urgency is lower if the product is absent, unused, 32-bit only, or isolated from untrusted TIFF content. Mitigation focus: Inventory PHOTO-PAINT X8 installations and confirm 64-bit version 18.1.0.661 exposure.; Check Corel or vendor support guidance for updates, replacement versions, or workarounds.; Avoid opening untrusted TIFF files on vulnerable systems..
