Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 12 vulnerabilities.

1) Stack-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU8789

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2887

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists in the XCF property handling function of Simple DirectMedia Layer SDL_image due to stack-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted xcf file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
