CVE-2024-11515
IrfanView JPM File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
In short
IrfanView has a flaw when opening JPM image files that allows attackers to run malicious code on your computer if you open a specially crafted file. The program doesn't properly check file data before processing it, leading to memory corruption.
Technical detail
A buffer overflow vulnerability in IrfanView's JPM file parser allows remote code execution through out-of-bounds write operations. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation of JPM file structures, enabling an attacker to overwrite adjacent memory and achieve arbitrary code execution within the application's context. User interaction (opening a malicious JPM file) is required to trigger the vulnerability.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
IrfanView JPM File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of IrfanView. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JPM files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-24010.
