Windows PDF Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Windows PDF Library improperly handles objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in a way that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit the vulnerability on Windows 10 systems with Microsoft Edge set as the default browser, an attacker could host a specially craf

Vulnerability Spotlight: WolfSSL library X.509 Certificate Text Parsing Code Execution Vulnerability
Discovered by Aleksandar Nikolic of Cisco Talos
### Overview
Talos is disclosing TALOS-2017-0293 / CVE 2017-2800, a code execution vulnerability in WolfSSL. WolfSSL is a lightweight SSL/TLS library targeted specifically for embedded and RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) environments, due largely to its small size and performance. WolfSSL is used in a wide range of products including ICS and IoT devices.
This particular vulnerability is related to the use of x.509 certificates and the code that deals with string fields in DER certificates. Specifically the code responsible for parsing 'commonName', 'countryName', 'localityName', 'stateName', 'orgName', and 'orgUnit'. A specially crafted x.509 certificate can cause a single out-of-bounds overwrite that could result in certificate validati
