Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Flashsky has reported some vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, allowing malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow in the LoadImage API which can be exploited to cause a heap based buffer overflow. This can be exploited through a website by using maliciously crafted icon, cursor, animated cursor, or bitmap files.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

2) Some errors in the Windows Kernel when parsing ANI files may cause the system to crash. This can be exploited through specially crafted ANI files.

3) The vulnerability is caused due to a heap overflow and an integer overflow in "winhlp32.exe" when handling HLP files. This can be exploited through specially crafted HLP files.

All versions of Microsoft Windows are affected except Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
