Vulnerability Spotlight: Hyland Perceptive Document Filters Multiple Vulnerabilites

Summary: Cisco Talos reported four vulnerabilities, found by Marcin 'Icewall' Noga, in Hyland Perceptive Document Filters' file conversion features that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The flaws can be exploited locally, or remotely when the framework runs in batch mode, where a crafted document handled automatically could give full control of the vulnerable system.

Why it matters: The affected conversion features sit inside big data, eDiscovery, DLP, email archival, content management, business intelligence and intelligent capture services, so a single malicious document processed in batch mode can hand over full control of a system that already touches your sensitive data.
