An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the BMP image rendering functionality of SDL2_image-2.0.2. A specially crafted BMP image can cause a stack overflow resulting in code execution. An attacker can display a specially crafted image to trigger this vulnerability.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201903-17 (SDL2_Image: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SDL2_Image. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted       image file, could execute arbitrary code, cause a Denial of Service       condition, or obtain sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the image loading library for Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed image files are opened.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the image loading library for Simple DirectMedia Layer 2, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed image files are opened.

Lilith of Cisco Talos discovered several buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the SDL Image library which can be leveraged by attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted image files.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.12-2+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your sdl-image1.2 packages.
