Ubuntu 4.10 : gtk+2.0, gdk-pixbuf vulnerabilities (USN-108-1)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 20494
Synopsis
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
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.Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
