Detail

Chris Evans discovered several problems in gdk-pixbuf, the GdkPixBuf library used in Gtk. It is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victims machine. Gdk-pixbuf for Gtk+1.2 is an external package. For Gtk+2.0 it's part of the main gtk package.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2004-0782

Heap-based overflow in pixbuf_create_from_xpm.

CAN-2004-0783

Stack-based overflow in xpm_extract_color.

CAN-2004-0788

Integer overflow in the ico loader.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.2-5woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your Gtk packages.

Id Description
9999 GdkPixbuf ICO Image Decoding Remote Overflow

A remote overflow exists in GdkPixbuf. GdkPixbuf fails to properly validate input in the ICO image decoding functionality resulting in a integer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause a DoS on the affected application resulting in a loss of availability.
9998 GdkPixbuf xpm_extract_color Remote Overflow

A remote overflow exists in the GdkPixbuf library. The xpm_extract_color function contains a boundary error when decoding images which may result in a stack-based overflow. With a specially crafted XPM image, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
9997 GdkPixbuf pixbuf_create_from_xpm Local Overflow

A remote overflow exists in GdkPixbuf. The pixbuf_create_from_xpm (in io-xpm.c) fails to sanitise input from the .xpm resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity.
