Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The version of the XCF plugin (ImXCF.dll) for IrfanView is earlier than 1.8.0.1314. As such, it reportedly is affected by a stack-based buffer overflow caused by insufficient validation when processing XCF files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted XCF file.

Solution

Upgrade the XCF plugin to version 1.8.0.1314 or later.
