(Red Hat Issues Fix for RHEL) gdk-pixbug BMP, ICO, and XPM Image Processing Errors May Let Remote Users Execute Arbitrary Code

SecurityTracker Alert ID: 1011323

SecurityTracker URL: http://securitytracker.com/id?1011323

CVE Reference: CAN-2004-0753 (Links to External Site)

Date: Sep 16 2004

Impact: Denial of service via network, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network

Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes

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: CAN-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: CAN-2004-0782, CAN-2004-0783]. An integer overflow resides in the ico loader [CVE: CAN-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.

3. Problem description:

The gdk-pixbuf package contains an image loading library used with the
GNOME GUI desktop environment.

[Updated 15th September 2004]
Packages have been updated to correct a bug which caused the xpm loader
to fail.

During testing of a previously fixed flaw in Qt (CAN-2004-0691), a flaw was
discovered in the BMP image processor of gdk-pixbuf.  An attacker could
create a carefully crafted BMP file which would cause an application
to enter an infinite loop and not respond to user input when the file was
opened by a victim.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0753 to this issue.

During a security audit, Chris Evans discovered a stack and a heap overflow
in the XPM image decoder. An attacker could create a carefully crafted XPM
file which could cause an application linked with gtk2 to crash or possibly
execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim.
(CAN-2004-0782, CAN-2004-0783)

Chris Evans also discovered an integer overflow in the ICO image decoder.
An attacker could create a carefully crafted ICO file which could cause an
application linked with gtk2 to crash when the file is opened by a victim.
(CAN-2004-0788)

These packages have also been updated to correct a bug which caused the xpm
loader to fail.

Users of gdk-pixbuf are advised to upgrade to these packages, which
contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages.  To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:

    up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the
following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:

    http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info):

130455 - CAN-2004-0753 bmp image loader DOS
130711 - CAN-2004-0782/3/8 GTK XPM decoder issues
