TITLE:
Google Picasa JPEG Processing Integer Overflow Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38435
VERIFY ADVISORY:
https://secunia.com/advisories/38435/
DESCRIPTION:
Tielei Wang has discovered a vulnerability in Google Picasa, which
can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a
user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error in
PicasaPhotoViewer.exe when processing JPEG files. This can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by tricking a user
into opening a specially crafted JPEG file and e.g. zooming in.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in PicasaPhotoViewer.exe version
3.6.95.25, included in Google Picasa 3.6 build 95.25. Prior versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.6 build 105.41.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Tielei Wang from ICST-ERCIS, reported through Secunia
