CVE-2012-2370

Publication date 13 August 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Multiple integer overflows in the read_bitmap_file_data function in io-xbm.c in gdk-pixbuf before 2.26.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a negative (1) height or (2) width in an XBM file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
