beware jpeg

I went in circles for a while with this one, too. Apparently, this bug is present in multiple Microsoft products. The GDI+ library has it, but only for Windows XP and server 2003, as well the version that comes with the SDK. However, most newer versions of Office as well as IE6 and the .NET framework contain the bug, too. So pretty much any Windows system will have this *somewhere*.

The only place I could actually find downloadable updates to patch this was from the corresponding technet article:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-028.mspx

The detection tool on WU doesn't appear to damn thing except point you to their web site without so much as telling you which components it found on your system, so you'll just have to figure that part out yourself. I'm assuming that each one needs to be updated.

Proof of concept exploit for the recent JPEG buffer overrun vulnerability that crashes any Windows XP system that has not been patched for this flaw.

The JPEG file above crashed my "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" on my XP box w/o SPx and explorer restarted. but it didnt crashed my IE6.

Proof of concept local exploit that creates a JPEG image to test for the buffer overrun vulnerability discovered under Microsoft Windows. Shellcode and valid addresses have been removed.

This is a prime example of why the whole development methodology in use by Microsoft must be questioned. The existence of an (extremely simplistic) buffer overflow due to a patent lack of bounds checking is an appalling reflection on this software monolith. The aptitude of their QA team resounds hollowly in my mind...

For real ?!?
Where did you get the virus from ??? I bet that's too early for virus writers to use this exploit !
I bet all antivirus company, have to scan jpeg files as well now, heuristic or not, i guess that for a moment, it's gonna be a real mess before it all calms down !
