CVE-2008-5187

Publication date 21 November 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The load function in the XPM loader for imlib2 1.4.2, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted XPM file that triggers a "pointer arithmetic error" and a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2426.
