gdk-pixbuf vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
GDK-PixBuf could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.
Software Description:
– gdk-pixbuf: GDK-Pixbuf library
Details:
It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle specially
crafted bmp images, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. If a 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. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-7552)
It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library contained an integer overflow
when handling certain images. If a user or automated system were tricked into
opening a crafted image 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. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2015-8875)
