Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FastStone MaxView versions 3.0 through 3.1

Description The issue allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This can be achieved via a malformed BMP image with a crafted biSize field in the BITMAPINFOHEADER section.
