Slackware Linux 15.0 / current gdk-pixbuf2 Vulnerability (SSA:2024-136-01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 197167

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to gdk-pixbuf2.

Description

The version of gdk-pixbuf2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.42.12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SSA:2024-136-01 advisory.

- In GNOME GdkPixbuf (aka gdk-pixbuf) through 2.42.10, the ANI (Windows animated cursor) decoder encounters heap memory corruption (in ani_load_chunk in io-ani.c) when parsing chunks in a crafted .ani file. A crafted file could allow an attacker to overwrite heap metadata, leading to a denial of service or code execution attack. This occurs in gdk_pixbuf_set_option() in gdk-pixbuf.c. (CVE-2022-48622)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the affected gdk-pixbuf2 package.
