Summary

SumatraPDF up to and including 3.7.0.22298 is affected. A signed 32 bit integer overflow in LIT header parsing (CWE-190) produces a negative section offset that is used without validation. A local user who opens a crafted LIT file causes an invalid memory read and deterministic application termination. The sources do not show code execution, information disclosure or integrity impact.

Description from the CNA

SumatraPDF is a multi-format reader for Windows. In 3.7.0.22298, LitParseHeader() in src/LitDoc.cpp computes the attacker-controlled hdrLen + nPieces * 16 section offset using signed 32-bit arithmetic without validating the complete result. When the component values make that aggregate calculation overflow to a negative value, pointer construction reaches an invalid read in LitU32(), causing deterministic application termination. The supplied evidence does not demonstrate code execution, information disclosure, arbitrary read, or integrity impact. No fixed version is available as of this review.
