Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#290961Microsoft Windows GDI+ ICO InfoHeader Height division by zero vulnerabilityOverviewMicrosoft Windows GDI+ fails to properly handle ICO files, which could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition.I. DescriptionMicrosoft Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI+) is an application programming interface (API) that provides programmers the ability to display information on screens and printers. GDI+ includes the ability to process ICO (icon) image files. There is an integer division by zero vulnerability in the way the ICO parsing component of GDI+ (Gdiplus.dll) handles ICO files with a Height value of zero in the InfoHeader section of the ICO file. By introducing a specially crafted ICO file to the vulnerable component, a remote attacker could trigger an integer division by zero denial-of-service condition.Windows Explorer has been shown to be vulnerable, however any application that uses the GDI+ library may be vulnerable.
