IrfanView PSD Image Parsing Two Vulnerabilities
http://secunia.com/advisories/39036/
Release Date - 2010-05-12
Last Update - 2010-05-17
Criticality level - Highly critical
" Description
Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in IrfanView, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A sign-extension error when parsing certain PSD images can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into
opening a specially crafted PSD file.
2) A boundary error when processing certain RLE compressed PSD images
can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by tricking a
user into opening a specially crafted PSD file.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 4.25. Other versions may
also be affected. "
