GTK+ and GdkPixbuf XPM loader xpm_extract_color buffer overflow
| gtk-xpm-xpmextractcolor-bo (17385) |  High Risk |
Description:
GTK+ and GdkPixbuf are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow in the xpm_extract_color function. By creating a specially-crafted XPM file, a remote attacker could cause a program using the vulnerable image loader to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code on the victim's system.
Consequences:
Gain Access
