What is CVE-2017-9876?

IrfanView version 4.44 (32bit), when used with FPX Plugin 4.46, contains a vulnerability that can be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code. This security flaw is triggered by processing specially crafted .fpx files, leading to potential denial of service or code execution. The issue arises from improper handling of data, specifically at the FPX_GetScanDevicePropertyGroup function, resulting in controlled code flow. Users are urged to apply available patches and avoid opening suspicious .fpx files to mitigate risks.
