Google Picasa BMP Image File Handling Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Google Picasa is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
