Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allocates memory based on the memory size written in the BMP file instead of the actual BMP file size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a small BMP file with has a large memory size.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Internet Explorer denial-of-service issue. Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 may allocate memory based on a BMP image’s declared size rather than the actual file size, allowing a small image to consume excessive memory and disrupt the browser. Exposure is most likely limited to environments that still use Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 to open untrusted BMP images or web content. Current exposure is probably uncommon, but legacy systems and kiosks should be checked. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue, not an emergency, unless Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 remains in business workflows. The main business risk is disruption of fragile legacy systems after viewing malicious image content. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 where still present.; Check Microsoft or vendor guidance for historical updates or compensating controls.; Prevent legacy browsers from opening untrusted image or web content..
