Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in the load_image function in file-pcx.c in the Personal Computer Exchange (PCX) plugin in GIMP 2.6.x and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PCX image that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Múltiples desbordamientos de enteros en la función load_image en file-pcx.c en el plugin Personal Computer Exchange (PCX) de GIMP v2.6.x y anteriores permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio ( caída de aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una imagen PCX manipulada que provoca un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica.
