Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in gdk-pixbuf, a toolkit for image loading and pixel buffer manipulation. A remote attacker can take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial-of-service against an application using gdk-pixbuf (application crash), or potentially, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, if a malformed image is opened.

This update for gdk-pixbuf fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2015-7552: Fixed various overflows in image handling     (boo#958963).

  - CVE-2015-7673: Fixed an overflow and DoS with a TGA file     (boo#948790).

  - CVE-2015-7674: Fixed overflow when scaling a gif     (boo#948791).

This update for gdk-pixbuf fixes the following security issues :

  - CVE-2015-7552: various overflows, including heap     overflow in flipping bmp files (bsc#958963)

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3085-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle specially crafted bmp images,     leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a     specially crafted bmp file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting     in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and     Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-7552)

    It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library contained an integer overflow when handling certain images.
    If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted image file, a remote attacker could use     this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary     code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8875)

    Franco Costantini discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library contained an

    out-of-bounds write error when parsing an ico file. If a user or automated system were tricked into     opening a crafted ico file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting     in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-6352)

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

This update for gtk2 fixes the following security issues :

  - CVE-2015-7552: various overflows, including heap     overflow in flipping bmp files (bsc#958963)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gdk-pixbuf: Heap-based buffer overflow in the gdk_pixbuf_flip function (CVE-2015-7552)

  - gstreamer-plugins-good: Heap buffer overflow in FLIC decoder (CVE-2016-9636)

  - The gst_aac_parse_sink_setcaps function in gst/audioparsers/gstaacparse.c in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer     before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via a     crafted audio file. (CVE-2016-10198)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

A heap-based buffer overflow has been discovered in gdk-pixbuf, a library for image loading and saving facilities, fast scaling and compositing of pixbufs, that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.

This update also fixes an incomplete patch for CVE-2015-7674.

CVE-2015-7552 Heap-based buffer overflow in the gdk_pixbuf_flip function in gdk-pixbuf-scale.c in gdk-pixbuf allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.

CVE-2015-7674 Integer overflow in the pixops_scale_nearest function in pixops/pixops.c in gdk-pixbuf before 2.32.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF image file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.26.1-1+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your gdk-pixbuf packages.
