Buffer overflow in GDI+ in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Office XP SP3, Office 2003 SP3, 2007 Microsoft Office System SP1 and SP2, Office Project 2002 SP1, Visio 2002 SP2, Office Word Viewer, Word Viewer 2003 Gold and SP3, Office Excel Viewer 2003 Gold and SP3, Office Excel Viewer, Office PowerPoint Viewer 2007 Gold, SP1, and SP2, Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats SP1 and SP2, Expression Web, Expression Web 2, Groove 2007 Gold and SP1, Works 8.5, SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services SP2, SQL Server 2005 SP2 and SP3, Report Viewer 2005 SP1, Report Viewer 2008 Gold and SP1, and Forefront Client Security 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image file, aka "GDI+ TIFF Buffer Overflow Vulnerability."

The remote host has a version of SQL Server that may host the RSClientPrint ActiveX control that includes a copy of gdiplus.dll that is affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities when viewing TIFF, PNG, BMP, and Office files that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host.  Additionally, there is a GDI+ .NET API vulnerability that allows a malicious .NET application to gain unmanaged code execution privileges. 

To exploit these flaws, an attacker would need to send a malformed image file to a user on the remote host and wait for them to open it using an affected Microsoft application.
