IrfanView DjVu Plugin DjVu Image File Decompression Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 60036

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The version of the IrfanView DjVu plugin (DjVu.dll) was found to be less than 4.34. As such, it is reportedly affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that can be triggered by tricking users into opening a .djvu file with a specially crafted DjVu image that is not properly handled during decompression. Successful exploitation may allow arbitrary code to be executed on the affected host.

Solution

Upgrade the DjVu plugin to version 4.3.4.0 (4.34) or later.
