Microsoft GDI+ CCITT G4 TIFF File Processing Memory Corruption Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Microsoft GDI+ is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the vector graphics link library improperly processes TIFF image files. This issue occurs when CCITT G4 compressed TIFF images are decompressed.

An attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts may crash applications that use the library.
