CVE-2005-3186: Gnome Gdkpixbuf

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 4.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Integer overflow in the GTK+ gdk-pixbuf XPM image rendering library in GTK+ 2.4.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via an XPM file with a number of colors that causes insufficient memory to be allocated, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Affected products

  • Gnome Gdkpixbuf: any version
  • Gtk Gtk+: version 2.4.0 only
