Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

GDK-PixBuf could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - gdk-pixbuf: GDK Pixbuf library

Details:

Gustavo Grieco discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle scaling tga image files, leading to a heap overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a tga image file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7673)

Gustavo Grieco discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library contained an integer overflow when handling certain GIF images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a GIF image file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7674)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 15.04:
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.3-1ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.7-0ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
