Microsoft Kodak Image Viewer code execution vulnerability

Overview

The Kodak Image Viewer which is included in Windows 2000 contains a code execution vulnerability.

I. Description

The Kodak Image Viewer is included in Windows 2000. It may also be present on other versions of Windows that were upgraded from Windows 2000.

Per Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-055:

    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Kodak Image Viewer in Windows handles specially crafted image files. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted image that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user visited a Web site, viewed a specially crafted e-mail message, or opened an e-mail attachment. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.

Note that there is publicly available proof of concept code that targets this vulnerability.

II. Impact

A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code.

III. Solution

Update

Microsoft has released an update to address this vulnerability.
