CVE-2005-3186  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:14 gtk+2.0 to version 2.6.10-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gtk+2.0 package and not the gtk+2.0 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the GTK+ gdk-pixbuf XPM image rendering library in GTK+ 2.4.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via an XPM file with a number of colors that causes insufficient memory to be allocated, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.
