Descriptions

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in in GIMP 2.8.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large (1) red, (2) green, or (3) blue color mask in an XWD file.

Múltiples desbordamientos de bufer basados en pila en file-xwd.c en el complemento X Window Dump (XWD) en GIMP v2.8.2 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una gran máscara de color (1) rojo, (2) verde, o (3) azul en un archivo XWD.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump plug-in in GIMP 2.8.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large blue color mask in an XWD file. Integer overflow in the load_image function in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump plug-in in GIMP 2.6.9 and earlier, when used with glib before 2.24, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large color entries value in an X Window System image dump. Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_xwd_cols function in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump plug-in in GIMP 2.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an X Window System image dump with more colors than color map entries. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
