DESCRIPTION:
Tielei Wang has discovered a vulnerability in ACDSee, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error in the
IDE_ACDStd.apl module when allocating memory using image dimension
values. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow
via a specially crafted BMP file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into opening a malicious file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 14.1 Build 137. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open files from untrusted sources.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Tielei Wang, Georgia Tech Information Security Center via Secunia.
