GdkPixbuf XPM parser contains a stack overflow vulnerability

Overview

A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the XPM handling of GdkPixbuf. This vulnerability can lead to a denial-of-service condition or execution of arbitrary code.

Description

GdkPixbuf is a library used by GTK+ 2 for loading and rendering images. GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. It is used by the Gnome desktop and other applications. GdkPixbuf contains a stack overflow vulnerability in the xpm_extract_color() function of the XPM loading routine.

---

Impact

By convincing the user to open a specially crafted XPM file, an attacker could cause a denial of service by crashing the application that uses GdkPixbuf. It may also be possible to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of that application.

---

Solution

Apply a patch from your vendor

For vendor-specific information regarding vulnerable status and patch availability, please see the vendor section of this document.

Upgrade your version of gtk+

Upgrade your system as specified by your vendor. If you need to compile the software from the original source, get gtk+ 2.4.10.
