MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
XnView versions prior to 2.13
Description:
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the xnview.exe component of XnView. This occurs when processing the biBitCount field in a BMP file, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 2.13, update to version 2.13 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of BMP files with potentially malicious biBitCount fields until the update is applied.
