Analysts from Trend Micro discovered a vulnerability in the AcdSee Photo Manager, which is a software shipped with the following Windows NT-based platforms:
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
This vulnerability is found when the photo manager attempts to read a malformed .XBM file, which in turn causes a buffer overflow attack against a device once exploited. This overflow may allow a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. It may also cause a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Workaround Fixes:
Trend Micro discourages users from opening .XBM files from untrusted or questionable sources.
