CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 gdk-pixbuf to version 2.30.7-0ubuntu1.6 or higher.

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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) pixops_composite_nearest, (2) pixops_composite_color_nearest, and (3) pixops_process functions in pixops/pixops.c in gdk-pixbuf before 2.33.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
