Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the animated cursor code in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 through Vista allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (persistent reboot) via a large length value in the second (or later) anih block of a RIFF .ANI, cur, or .ico file, which results in memory corruption when processing cursors, animated cursors, and icons, a variant of CVE-2005-0416, as originally demonstrated using Internet Explorer 6 and 7. NOTE: this might be a duplicate of CVE-2007-1765; if so, then CVE-2007-0038 should be preferred.

Un desbordamiento de búfer en la región stack de la memoria en el código de cursor animado en Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 hasta Vista, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (reinicio persistente) por medio de un valor de gran longitud en el segundo bloque anih (o posterior) de un archivo RIFF .ANI, cur o .ico, lo que resulta en una corrupción de memoria cuando se procesan cursores, cursores animados e iconos, una variante de CVE-2005-0416, como es demostrado originalmente usando Internet Explorer versiones 6 y 7. NOTA: esto podría ser un duplicado de CVE-2007-1765; si es así, entonces CVE-2007-0038 debe ser preferido.
