Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in
version been tested on a specific version of irfanview (v4.3.2), although other
versions may work also. The vulnerability is triggered via parsing an
invalid qcd chunk structure and specifying a malformed qcd size and
data.

Payload delivery and vulnerability trigger can be executed in multiple
ways. The user can double click the file, use the file dialog, open via
the icon and drag/drop the file into Irfanview's window. An egg hunter
is used for stability.
