SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1009067  
CVE Reference:  GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH   (Links to External Site)  
Date:  Feb 15 2004 

Impact:  Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network

Exploit Included:  Yes   

Version(s): 5 (6 is reportedly not vulnerable) 

Description:  A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 5. A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target system. 

It is reported that a remote user can create a specially crafted bitmap file that, when loaded by IE, will trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code.

The author states that this flaw was found by reviewing the recently leaked Microsoft Windows source code. The flaw reportedly resides in 'win2k/private/inet/mshtml/src/site/download/imgbmp.cxx'.

The report indicates that IE 5 is affected but that IE 6 is not affected.

A demonstration exploit is provided in the Source Message [it is Base64 encoded]. 

Impact:  A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's computer when the target user's browser loads a specially crafted bitmap file. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.

Solution:  No solution was available at the time of this entry.
