    Action Type Old Value New Value
    Changed Description An exploitable uninitialized pointer vulnerability exists in the Word document parser of the the Atlantis Word Processor. A specially crafted document can cause an array fetch to return an uninitialized pointer and then performs some arithmetic before writing a value to the result. Usage of this uninitialized pointer can allow an attacker to corrupt heap memory resulting in code execution under the context of the application. An attacker must convince a victim to open a document in order to trigger this vulnerability. An exploitable out-of-bounds write exists in the TIFF-parsing functionality of Canvas Draw version 5.0.0. An attacker can deliver a TIFF image to trigger this vulnerability and gain code execution.
