Microsoft Windows Explorer BMP Image Denial of Service Vulnerability

Windows Explorer is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability.

Few technical details regarding this issue are currently available. This BID will be updated as more information emerges.

An attacker could exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions on a victim compute. Presumably, this issue stems from a buffer overflow, but this has not been confirmed.

This issue affects Windows XP SP1; other operating systems and versions may be affected as well.
