CVE-2015-7673  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 gdk-pixbuf to version 2.30.7-0ubuntu1.2 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.

io-tga.c in gdk-pixbuf before 2.32.0 uses heap memory after its allocation failed, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Truevision TGA (TARGA) file.
