Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IrfanView (affected versions not specified)

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of IrfanView. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the parsing of SID files due to the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.
