Microsoft Internet Explorer PNG Image Rendering Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer PNG Image Rendering Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue exists in the PNG image rendering library used by the browser.

Successful exploitation will result in execution of arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged in user.

This issue is present in the PNG image rendering library, so it is possible that other applications that use the library are affected. This is not confirmed and Symantec is not aware of any such applications.
