Critical - Same Day Deployment
“A malicious file can turn a simple user action into remote code execution, putting sensitive data and system integrity at risk.”
A heap-based buffer overflow in the Windows Imaging Component could allow an unauthorized attacker to execute code on an affected Windows system. Exploitation occurs over a network but requires a user to open a specially crafted file. No privileges are required, attack complexity is low, and successful exploitation can have a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
