Deleted User	Quote: IrfanView Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities HIGHLY CRITICAL Description multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in IrfanView, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. 1) A boundary error when processing RLE compressed bitmap files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted DIB, RLE, or BMP image. This vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.32. 2) The application bundles a vulnerable version of JPEG2000 PlugIn. For more information: SA47360 The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 4.33. Solution Update to version 4.33.
