DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in IrfanView PlugIns,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the JPEG2000 plug-in
when processing the Quantization Default (QCD) marker segment. This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a
specially crafted JPEG2000 (JP2) file.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into opening a malicious file.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.32. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update the JPEG2000 plug-in to version 4.33.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Parvez Anwar via Secunia.
