CVE-2014-7247 is a stack-based buffer overflow in JustSystems Ichitaro that permits arbitrary code execution through a crafted document. The overflow allows an attacker to overwrite a return address and execute shellcode. Affected products include Ichitaro 2008 through 2011; Ichitaro Government 6, 7, 2008, 2009, and 2010; Ichitaro Pro and Pro 2; Ichitaro 2011 Sou; Ichitaro 2012 Shou; Ichitaro 2013 Gen; and Ichitaro 2014 Tetsu. The vulnerability was exploited as a zero-day in targeted email campaigns against Japanese government agencies and enterprises.

A remote code execution vulnerability affecting multiple Ichitaro products. The in-the-wild Trojan TROJ_TARODROP.YH contains code targeting this vulnerability, but the report states that coding errors prevent the sample from performing its routines; successful exploitation by this sample is therefore not established.
A zero-day arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the Japan-specific Ichitaro word processor caused by a stack overflow in JCXCALC.DLL copy processing.
A crafted-file vulnerability in JustSystems Ichitaro that permits arbitrary code execution. The report identifies it among exploits found in USB-borne malware entering industrial environments.
