What is CVE-2007-0842?

The Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 standard library has a vulnerability in its time functions that can lead to a denial of service. Specifically, when processing time arguments beyond Jan 1, 3000, functions such as localtime, gmtime, and ctime trigger assertion errors instead of returning NULL or EINVAL. This outputs an unexpected behavior that can cause applications to exit unexpectedly. It highlights the importance of proper input validation by applications using these functions, as this flaw could be exploited by attackers with context-specific conditions.
