ALPHA Player 2.4 - '.bmp' Buffer Overflow

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/44196/info

ALPHA Player is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

ALPHA Player 2.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
