Discussion

WinImage is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

Remote attackers can exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting victim to open a maliciously crafted FAT image file. A successful exploit could let attackers execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application.

WinImage 8.0.8000 is vulnerable to these issues; other versions may also be affected.

Exploit

The researcher responsible for discovering these issues has developed exploit code to trigger them. This code has not been released publicly.
