GpicView Buffer Overflow DOS
This exploit is a proof of concept for a buffer overflow vulnerability in GpicView, a lightweight image viewer. The exploit requires the user to open a maliciously crafted image file with GpicView, and then rotate the image. This causes a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service.
Mitigation:
The user should not open any suspicious image files with GpicView, and should ensure that the 'Auto Save Images' option is not enabled in the preferences.
