Could someone please explain this vulnerability?

[217] Microsoft Multiple Application/OS GDI+ JPEG Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability attempt detected
I saw the sygate arrows in the system tray flash read to warn me of what I thought would be just another port scan, but to my suprise, I found the above when I opened the firewall security log. Now, I'm not really all that worried, but I am quite interested.

Can anybody explain to me what exactly this particlar vulnerability is all about, as I have (like many others, I suspect) never seen or heared of it before. As I say, purely out of interest really.
