-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is
required in that a user must open a malicious image file or browse to a
malicious website.

The specific flaws exist in the GDI+ subsystem when parsing maliciously
crafted TIFF files. By supplying a malformed graphic control extension
an attacker can trigger an exploitable memory corruption condition.
Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution under the
credentials of the currently logged in user.

Microsoft has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More
