What is CVE-2006-4183?

The Microsoft DirectX SDK is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow due to improper handling of run-length-encoding (RLE) compressed Targa files. Maliciously crafted Targa files can lead to excessive data during decoding, potentially enabling context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. This vulnerability has implications for various applications dependent on DirectX's graphic capabilities, emphasizing the need for secure file handling mechanisms.
