Microsoft Works 7 WkImgSrv.dll crash POC
This proof-of-concept code exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft Works 7. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the WkImgSrv.dll module when handling a specially crafted HTML file. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long argument passed to the WksPictureInterface property of the WkImgSrv.dll ActiveX control. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to Microsoft Works 7.0.2.90 or later.
