Descriptions

GdkPixBuf (aka gdk-pixbuf), possibly 2.32.2, as used by GNOME Nautilus 3.14.3 on Ubuntu 16.04, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (stack corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file folder.

GdkPixBuf (también conocido como gdk-pixbuf), posiblemente en la versión 2.32.2, tal y como se utiliza en GNOME Nautilus 3.14.3 en Ubuntu 16.04 permite a los atacantes provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de pila) o, posiblemente, otro impacto sin especificar mediante una carpeta de archivos manipulada.

It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle certain BMP images. If an user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted BMP file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
