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 confirmed in version 3.9.8.0 of fpx.dll. Other versions may also be affected.
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.
SOLUTION: Do not open untrusted FlashPix (*.fpx) files.
