CVE-2019-9137
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDaviewIndy 8.98.7 and earlier versions have a Integer overflow vulnerability, triggered when the user opens a malformed Image file that is mishandled by Daview.exe. Attackers could exploit this and arbitrary code execution.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceInteger overflow vulnerability in DaviewIndy versions 8.98.7 and earlier allows arbitrary code execution when processing malformed Image files through Daview.exe. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of integer values during image parsing, which can be exploited to achieve code execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate DaviewIndy installationSearch for Daview.exe on the system, typically found in the DaviewIndy installation directory (commonly C:\Program Files\DaviewIndy or C:\Program Files (x86)\DaviewIndy)Affected if Daview.exe is present on the system
-
Identify installed versionRight-click on Daview.exe, select Properties, and check the Version tab for the product version; alternatively, check Add/Remove Programs or the application's About dialogAffected if Version displays as 8.98.7 or earlier, or version information cannot be determined (unknown version may still be vulnerable)
-
Verify the Image parsing featureConfirm that Daview.exe includes Image file parsing capability (this is a core function of DaviewIndy for viewing various image formats)Affected if The application is used to open or view Image files
-
Assess file handling exposureCheck if users can open Image files directly through Daview.exe or via file association; review any automated processing of untrusted Image filesAffected if Daview.exe processes Image files from untrusted or external sources
-
Compare against affected rangeDocument the exact version number found and compare against the affected range: all versions 8.98.7 and earlierAffected if Installed version is 8.98.7 or lower, or version cannot be verified but the software is present
A system is affected if DaviewIndy version 8.98.7 or earlier is installed and the application processes Image files, allowing the integer overflow to trigger during malformed image parsing.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate DaviewIndy to a patched version if available; avoid opening untrusted or malformed Image files; deploy endpoint protection to detect potential exploitation attempts.
