Description The issue is caused by a computation that writes data past the end of the intended buffer, specifically when handling an EMF EMR BITBLT record. This results from an out of range pointer offset used to access sub-elements of an internal data structure. An attacker can potentially leverage this issue to corrupt sensitive data or execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute code remotely.
