Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Google Picasa, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

  1. A sign extension error when processing the color table of a BMP image can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a BMP image with a specially crafted "biBitCount" field.
