Descriptions

Integer underflow in the load_resources function in io-icns.c in gdk-pixbuf allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and program crash) via a crafted image entry size in an ICO file.

Desbordamiento inferior de entero en la función load_resources en io-icns.c en gdk-pixbuf permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites y caída del programa) a través de una entrada de tamaño de imagen manipulada en un archivo ICO.

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.
