gdk-pixbug BMP, ICO, and XPM Image Processing Errors May Let Remote Users Execute Arbitrary Code
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1011285
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id?1011285
CVE Reference:  CVE-2004-0753 ,  CVE-2004-0782 ,  CVE-2004-0783 ,  CVE-2004-0788   (Links to External Site)
Updated:  Mar 21 2006
Original Entry Date:  Sep 15 2004
Impact:  Denial of service via network, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Version(s): 0.22 and prior versions
Description:  Several vulnerabilities were reported in gdk-pixbug. A remote user can create a specially crafted image file that, when processed by an application using gdk-pixbug, will cause the application to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.

Mandrake and Red Hat reported that a remote user can create a specially crafted BMP image file that will cause gdk-pixbug to enter an infinite loop [CVE-2004-0753].

It is also reported that Chris Evans discovered several overflows. A heap-based overflow and a stack-based overflow reside in the xpm loader [CVE-2004-0782, CVE-2004-0783]. An integer overflow resides in the ico loader [CVE-2004-0788]. A remote user may be able to trigger the overflows to cause an application that uses gdk-pixbug to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Impact:  A remote user may be able to cause an application using gdk-pixbug to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.
Solution:  No upstream solution was available at the time of this entry.
Vendor URL:  ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gdk-pixbuf/ (Links to External Site)
Cause:  Boundary error, State error
Underlying OS:  Linux (Any), UNIX (Any)
