Description
A heap overflow in the FSViewer.exe process of FastStone Image Viewer v8.3 allows attackers to cause a execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process via supplying a crafted JPEG 2000 (JP2) file.
A heap overflow vulnerability has been identified in FastStone Image Viewer version 8.3 and earlier. This vulnerability occurs in the FSViewer.exe process when the application parses JPEG 2000 (JP2) files. The issue is triggered by a malformed QCD marker in crafted JP2 files, allowing attackers to overwrite the instruction pointer and execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Notably, this vulnerability can be exploited automatically when the application generates thumbnails, without requiring the user to open the malicious file directly.
As of now, no patch is available for this vulnerability. Users are advised to run FastStone Image Viewer with a restricted local account and to avoid downloading or saving JP2 or PSD files from untrusted sources.
