Autonomy KeyView kpagrdr.dll denial of service
| autonomy-keyview-applix-dos (41722) |  Low Risk |
Description:
The Autonomy (formerly Verity) KeyView Applix Graphics reader (kpagrdr.dll) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a logic error when parsing long tokens. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted Applix Graphics file, a remote attacker could cause the utilization of all available CPU resources, resulting in the application hanging or crashing.
