Description

Marsu has discovered a vulnerability in the FlashPix plug-in for IrfanView, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the FlashPix plug-in (fpx.dll) when processing FlashPix (*.fpx) files. This can be exploited to cause a heap corruption by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted FlashPix file.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.9.8.0 of fpx.dll. Other versions may also be affected.


Solution
Do not open untrusted FlashPix (*.fpx) files.
