Descriptions
libXcursor before 1.1.15 has various integer overflows that could lead to heap buffer overflows when processing malicious cursors, e.g., with programs like GIMP. It is also possible that an attack vector exists against the related code in cursor/xcursor.c in Wayland through 1.14.0.
libXcursor en versiones anteriores a la 1.1.15 tiene varios desbordamientos de enteros que podrían provocar desbordamientos de búfer basados en memoria dinámica (heap) cuando se procesan cursores maliciosos, por ejemplo, con programas como GIMP. También es posible que exista un vector de ataque contra el código relacionado en cursor/xcursor.c en Wayland hasta la versión 1.14.0.
It was discovered that libXcursor, a X cursor management library, is prone to several heap overflows when parsing malicious files. An attacker can take advantage of these flaws for arbitrary code execution, if a user is tricked into processing a specially crafted cursor file.
