| Doc Text: |
An integer overflow, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way gdk-pixbuf, an image loading library for GNOME, scaled certain bitmap format images. An attacker could use a specially crafted BMP image file that, when processed by an application compiled against the gdk-pixbuf library, would cause that application to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application.

This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Via RHSA-2015:1586 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-1586.html This issue pertains to: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752297 When gdk-pixbuf is used to parse and scale a crafted bmp for example when using the gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale() etc, it results in large amounts of memory being malloc'ed ultimately resulting in DoS and program abort. The cause of this flaw is a integer overflow issue in make_filter_table() int *weights = g_new (int, SUBSAMPLE * SUBSAMPLE * n_x * n_y); The above can result in an integer overflow (n_x and n_y come from the bmp file) And also due to no checks performed in gdk_pixbuf_new() Secondly when the values of the height and length are carefully chosen, this can also result in a heap-based buffer overflow, and under some conditions result in arbitrary code being executed, in the context of the user running the application. Applications compiled against gdk-pixbuf, which scale user-controlled bitmap files are affected by this issue.
