Description

The details of the vulnerabilities are as follows:

1) CVE-2022-27864 - A Double Free vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through DesignReview.exe application on PDF files within affected installations. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

2) CVE-2022-27865 - A maliciously crafted TGA or PCX file may be used to write beyond the allocated buffer through DesignReview.exe application while parsing TGA and PCX files. This vulnerability may be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
