CVE-2017-2813: An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists in the JPEG 2000 parser functionality of IrfanView 4.44.

An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists in the JPEG 2000 parser functionality of IrfanView 4.44. A specially crafted jpeg2000 image can cause an integer overflow leading to wrong memory allocation resulting in arbitrary code execution. Vulnerability can be triggered by viewing the image in via the application or by using thumbnailing feature of IrfanView.

Security readout for executives and security teams

IrfanView 4.44 can be compromised when it processes a malicious JPEG 2000 image. A user only needs to view the file, and the thumbnail feature may also trigger the flaw. Successful exploitation could allow arbitrary code execution with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Exposure is likely limited to endpoints running IrfanView 4.44, especially where users open externally supplied images or browse folders containing untrusted JPEG 2000 files. Prioritize as a high-risk desktop application exposure where IrfanView is used with external images. The business urgency is highest for users handling emailed, downloaded, or customer-supplied image files. Mitigation focus: Identify and remove or update IrfanView 4.44 installations.; Check IrfanView vendor guidance for fixed versions or official mitigations.; Block or quarantine untrusted JPEG 2000 files where practical..
