Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple integer overflows in the image handler for imlib 1.9.14 and earlier, which is used by gkrellm and several window managers, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and execute arbitrary code via certain image files.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes the possibility of remote code execution on user workstations, which could lead to system compromise or data leakage. Additionally, a DoS attack may disrupt applications using imlib.

Recommendation

Immediately update the imlib library to version 1.9.15 or later, which includes fixes for these vulnerabilities. If updating is not possible, restrict access to untrusted image files.
