-\\Discussion
Microsoft GDI+ is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs when an application
that uses the library tries to process a specially crafted EMF (Enhanced Metafile) image file.

Successfully exploiting this issue causes applications using the affected library to crash.  Due to
the nature of this issue, attackers may be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the
currently logged-in user; this has not been confirmed.

NOTE (March 25, 2009): Further investigation reveals that this issue is in fact a new issue and
has been assigned its own BID. Information that was added on March 24, 2009 to BID 31019
('Microsoft GDI+ EMF Image Processing Memory Corruption Vulnerability')  is now provided
in this BID.

UPDATE (March 26, 2009): Further analysis indicates that successful exploits are unlikely to result
in remote code execution; the impact for this issue has been adjusted accordingly.



-\\Exploit(s)/PoC(s):
The following EMF file is available.  Note that Symantec has not tested or verified this exploit.
Always use caution when handling exploits.
