.JPG redux

Thu Sep 30 00:52:10 PDT 2004

We were chatting about the possible mechanism for the JPEG exploit here 
a few days ago, so I thought I'd mention my suggestion of the mechanism 
was completely *wrong*.

I thought it was a file extension trick.  Nope, it's a buffer overflow 
in the JPEG decompression code.
