This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in IrfanView IFF. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected user.
IrfanView is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Successful exploits allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions. IrfanView 3.99 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
