high Nessus Plugin ID 72395

Synopsis

A graphic viewer installed on the remote host is affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host contains a version of IrfanView prior to version 4.37. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities :

- A boundary error exists when handling the LZW code stream within GIF files that could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5351)

- An error exists in the Thumbnail 'tooltips' feature when viewing a specially crafted file contained in a folder named using multi-byte characters in the Thumbnails window, such as when handling Japanese folder names.
Exploitation of this issue could result in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-6932)

Solution

Upgrade to IrfanView version 4.37 or later.
