CVE Catalog

CVE-2004-0994

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple integer overflows in xzgv 0.8 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via images with large width and height values, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, as demonstrated in the read_prf_file function in readprf.c.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization is the possibility of remote arbitrary code execution by an attacker, which could lead to system compromise, data loss, or further propagation of the attack within the network.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately upgrade xzgv to a version later than 0.8, which includes security fixes addressing these vulnerabilities.

Multiple integer overflows in xzgv 0.8 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via images with large width and height values, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, as demonstrated in the read_prf_file function in readprf.c. NOTE: CVE-2004-0994 and CVE-2004-1095 identify sets of bugs that only partially overlap, despite having the same developer. Therefore, they should be regarded as distinct.
