Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in operations/external/ppm-load.c in GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) 0.2.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a large (1) width or (2) height value in a Portable Pixel Map (ppm) image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Múltiples desbordamientos de enteros en operations/external/ppm-load.c en GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) v0.2.0 permiten a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (por caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de una gran (1) anchura ó (2) altura en una imagen "Mapa de Pixels Portable" (ppm), lo que provoca un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica (heap).

A vulnerability in GEGL might allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. Versions less than 0.2.0-r2 are affected.
