Heap-based buffer overflow in the FlashPix PlugIn before 4.3.4.0 for IrfanView might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .fpx file containing a crafted FlashPix image that is not properly handled during decompression.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
