3) Technical details
============================
Insufficient validation in ID_ICO.apl when copying colours from cursors in .CUR
files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a .CUR file
containing a specially crafted "ColorsImportant" field value.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.1 (Build 137). Other versions may also be affected.
