CVE-2011-1178

Publication date 6 June 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Multiple integer overflows in the load_image function in file-pcx.c in the Personal Computer Exchange (PCX) plugin in GIMP 2.6.x and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PCX image that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
