| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
gdk-pixbuf versions prior to 2.23.5
gdk-pixbuf versions prior to 2.24.1-r1
Description
The issue is related to the
gdk pixbuf gif image load function in gdk-pixbuf/io-gif.c, which does not properly handle certain return values. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically memory consumption, via a crafted GIF image file. Multiple vulnerabilities in the gdk-pixbuf package can lead to disruption of protected information availability, and exploitation can be done remotely.Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.23.5, update to version 2.23.5 or later.
For versions prior to 2.24.1-r1, update to version 2.24.1-r1 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
gdk pixbuf gif image load function until a patch is available.Exploit
