XnView RGBE File Handling Buffer Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 30130

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application that reportedly is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

XnView, an application to view and convert graphic files, is installed on the remote host.

The version of XnView on the remote host reportedly contains a stack- based buffer overflow that can be triggered when reading a specially- crafted Radiance RGBE ('.hdr') file. If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into opening such a file, this issue could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the host subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to XnView version 1.92.1 or later as that reportedly resolves the issue.
