Package: gdk-pixbuf Severity: important Tags: security gdk-pixbuf is vulnerable to CAN-2005-0891:
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. Ubuntu has a patch for it here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/patches/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf_0.22.0-7ubuntu2.patch -- see shy jo
