Descriptions

Integer overflow in io-ico.c in gdk-pixbuf allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and application crash) via a crafted image entry offset in an ICO file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read, related to compiler optimizations.

Desbordamiento de entero in io-ico.c in gdk-pixbuf permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto provocar una denegación de servicio (fallo de segmentación y caída de aplicación) a través del desplazamiento de entrada de una imagen manipulada en un archivo ICO, lo que desencadena una lectura fuera de límites, relacionado con optimizaciones del compilador.

It was discovered that GDK-PixBuf incorrectly handled certain gif images. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Ariel Zelivansky discovered that GDK-PixBuf incorrectly handled certain images. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
