GDK vulnerability

Releases

• Ubuntu 4.10

Details

Matthias Clasen discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the
BMP image module of gdk. Processing a specially crafted BMP image with
an application using gdk-pixbuf caused an allocated memory block to be
free()'ed twice, leading to a crash of the application. However, it
is believed that this cannot be exploited to execute arbitrary
attacker provided code.
