[MEDIUM] Microsoft WindowsCodecs.dll SniffAndConvertToWideString Information Leak Vulnerability
These vulnerabilities were discovered by Marcin Noga of Cisco Talos.
Today, Cisco Talos is disclosing a vulnerability in the WindowsCodecs.dll component of the Windows operating system.
WindowsCodecs.dll is a component library that exists in the implementation of Windows Imaging Component (WIC), which provides a framework for working with images and their data. WIC makes it possible for independent software vendors (ISVs) and independent hardware vendors (IHVs) to develop their own image codecs and get the same platform support as standard image formats (ex. TIFF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP and HDPhoto).
