SDL_Image IMG_LoadLBM_RW() buffer overflow
| sdlimage-imgloadlbmrw-bo (39899) |  High Risk |
Description:
SDL_Image is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the IMG_LoadLBM_RW() function in IMG_lbm.c. By sending a specially-crafted IFF ILBM file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and possibly execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
