The vulnerability, rated by Secunia as moderately critical, occurs when processing specially crafted BMP images within the ReadImage() function in plug-ins/file-bmp/bmp-read.c causing an integer overflow that can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. The overflow may allow an attacker to remotely execute code on a users system.More details at Heise security - http://www.h-online....ool-858629.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
