NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gdk-pixbuf package and not the gdk-pixbuf package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

The make_available_at_least function in io-tiff.c in gdk-pixbuf allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a large TIFF file.
