Boys and girls, even more microsoft stupidity. By a simple act of viewing a JPEG image on a web site or from an email can infect your computer with the jpeg image virus. How more insecure things may get? So watch out for web sites with no credibility and unsolicited emails.
Everyone is strongly suggested to install windows XP service pack 2 as soon as possible.
| Quote: |
Microsoft (Graphics Device Interface) GDI+ JPEG handler is reported prone to an integer underflow vulnerability when handling JPEG format images. This issue presents itself due to a lack of sufficient sanity checks performed on certain JPEG data before this data employed as a bounds value for a memory copy operation.
A specially crafted JPEG image may trigger this vulnerability and result in the execution of arbitrary attacker-supplied code. Code execution would occur in the context of the user who is running the vulnerable software. |
