Unauthorized Access Attempt
Microsoft Windows GDI+ is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking. By persuading a victim open a specially-crafted PNG image file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim.
Apply the appropriate patch for your system, as listed in the latest Microsoft Security Bulletin. See References.
