Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in libXpm before 3.5.12, when a program requests parsing XPM extensions on a 64-bit platform, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via (1) the number of extensions or (2) their concatenated length in a crafted XPM file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Desbordamientos múltiples de entero en libXpm en versiones anteriores a 3.5.12, cuando un programa solicita interpretar extensiones XPM en una plataforma 64-bit, permiten a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (escritura fuera de límites) o ejecutar código arbitrario a través de (1) el número de extensiones o (2) su longitud concatenada en un archivo XPM manipulado, que desencadena un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica.

An integer overflow flaw leading to a heap-based buffer overflow was found in libXpm. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using libXpm via a specially crafted XPM file.
