Where	From remote "From remote" describes other vulnerabilities where the attack vector doesn't require access to the system or a local network. This category covers services that are acceptable to expose to the Internet (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP). It also covers client applications used on the Internet and certain vulnerabilities where it is reasonable to assume that a security conscious user can be tricked into performing certain actions.
Impact	System access This covers vulnerabilities where malicious people are able to gain system access and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user.
Description	Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in ACDSee products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. 1) An input validation error within ID_PSP.apl when processing PSP image files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PSP image file. 2) An integer overflow error within ID_PSP.apl when processing PSP image files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PSP image file. 3) An input validation error within AM_LHA.apl when processing LHA archives can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted LHA archive. NOTE: The AM_LHA.apl plugin is not included in a default installation of ACDSee Photo Editor. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in ACDSee Photo Manager version 9.0 build 108, ACDSee Pro Photo Manager version 8.1 build 99, and ACDSee Photo Editor version 4.0 build 195. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution	Apply updates. http://files.acdsystems.com/english/products/acdsee/patches/idx-2-1-6-en-update.exe NOTE: Updates for ACDSee Pro 2 and 10 will reportedly be released within the month.
