CVE-2019-25549: VeryPDF PCL Converter 2.7 Denial of Service via PDF Security

VeryPDF PCL Converter 2.7 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows local attackers to crash the application by supplying an excessively long password string. Attackers can trigger a buffer overflow by entering a 3000-byte password in the PDF Security encryption fields, causing the application to crash when processing PCL files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

VeryPDF PCL Converter 2.7 can be crashed by a local user using an overly long password value in PDF security settings while processing PCL files. The known impact is application denial of service, not data theft or remote system compromise based on the provided sources. Exposure is likely limited to systems where VeryPDF PCL Converter 2.7 is installed and accessible to local users or automated conversion workflows handling untrusted inputs. Treat as a medium-priority availability risk. Prioritize systems supporting business-critical document conversion or accepting untrusted files. This does not currently warrant emergency response absent active exploitation evidence. Mitigation focus: Check VeryPDF guidance for an updated version or vendor-recommended workaround.; Restrict use of VeryPDF PCL Converter 2.7 to trusted users and workflows.; Avoid processing untrusted PCL files or untrusted PDF security settings..
