CWE-119Published: November 15, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026

9.3

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Multiple buffer overflows in ACD products allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long section string in a (1) XBM or (2) XPM file to (a) ID_X.apl or (b) IDE_ACDStd.apl. NOTE: the PSP and LHA vectors are already covered by CVE-2007-4344 and CVE-2007-6007. NOTE: these might be integer overflows rather than buffer overflows.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2007-6009 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
