Appears to only be affected by JPGs.

Isn't it a buffer overflow exploit?

 

[iapetus]

Not the JPEG virus - that doesn't actually propagate through JPEGs, just uses them to store data. You need to be infected already for the images to have any effect.

The PNG problem is a buffer overflow, I believe, but as far as I know hasn't been exploited yet.

 

[teiresias]

Buffer overflows are so clever.

And erotic.

Overflow my buffer will ya?
