Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in version 2.1
of IcoFX. The vulnerability exists while parsing .ICO files, where a specially
crafted ICONDIR header providing an arbitrary long number of images in the file
can be used to trigger the overflow when reading the ICONDIRENTRY structures.
