NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cairo-gobject package and not the cairo-gobject package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the gdk_pixbuf_flip function in gdk-pixbuf-scale.c in gdk-pixbuf 2.30.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.
