title: Kofax Power PDF replacePages Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
descriptions: value: Kofax Power PDF replacePages Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kofax Power PDF. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
