Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow condition that exists in the gdi_Bitmap_Decompress() function, as defined in the graphics.c source code file. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow condition that the attacker can use to cause a DoS condition or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


Remediation

Update to version 2.0.0-rc4.
