Hi folks, Can anyone confirm that the attached PNG file is causing Explorer to eat 100% CPU, and if this is a known issue ? (Currently tested with an up-to-date Windows XP and Windows Vista) The probable cause is an integer overflow in the PNG chunk size handling, which is 32-bit large, and which can cause a 32-bit counter to overflow when specifically designed for (the attached file contains an tEXt chunk which is 0xfffffff4 bytes large), leading to bypass size checking and causing counters to go backward. (Other applications handling PNG files might be affected) Regards, Xavier Roche
