Summary

Buffer overflow in IrfanView 3.99 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) xoffset or (2) yoffset RLE command, or (3) large non-RLE encoded blocks in a crafted BMP image, as demonstrated by rle8of3.bmp and rle8of4.bmp.

descriptionImager 0.56 and all earlier versions with BMP support have a security issue when reading compressed 8-bit per pixel BMP files where either a compressed run of data or a literal run of data overflows the scan-line. Such an overflow causes a buffer overflow in a malloc() allocated memory buffer, possibly corrupting the memory arena headers. The effect depends on your system memory allocator, with glibc this typically results in an abort, but with other memory allocators it may be possible to cause local code execution.
