None · Pixman · CVE-2014-9766
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Pixman versions prior to 0.32.6 **Description** The issue is caused by an integer overflow in the `create bits` function in `pixman-bits-image.c`. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, resulting in the application crashing, or possibly to execute arbitrary code. The exploitation is facilitated by large `height` and `stride` values. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 0.32.6, update to version 0.32.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the input values for `height` and `stride` to prevent large values from being processed by the `create bits` function.
