gdiplus.dll in GDI+ in Microsoft Windows XP SP3 does not properly handle crafted .ico files, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a certain crash.ico file on a web site, and allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and persistent application crash) via this crash.ico file on the desktop, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-2237.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A crafted Windows icon file can crash applications using GDI+ on Windows XP SP3. The known impact is denial of service, not data theft or code execution. Business urgency is mainly for organizations still operating unsupported XP systems. Exposure appears limited to Windows XP SP3 systems using vulnerable GDI+ icon parsing. Modern Windows versions are not identified in the supplied sources. Risk is highest where legacy XP desktops, kiosks, lab systems, or embedded workstations browse untrusted content or receive untrusted icon files. Prioritize only if Windows XP SP3 remains in production. This is an availability risk for obsolete systems, with no source evidence of code execution or active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Inventory and retire Windows XP SP3 systems where feasible.; Check Microsoft or vendor guidance for any applicable legacy updates.; Restrict legacy systems from browsing untrusted websites..
