IrfanView < 4.35 Multiple Heap-Based Buffer Overflows

medium Nessus Plugin ID 63059

Synopsis

A graphic viewer installed on the remote host is affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host contains a version of IrfanView prior to version 4.35. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An error exists related to 'ImageWidth' value handling in JPEG compressed TIFF images.

- An error exists related to 'End of Line' marker handling in RLE compressed BMP images.

These vulnerabilities could allow heap-based buffer overflows, which could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to IrfanView version 4.35 or later.
