CVE-2015-7673

Publication date 2 October 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

io-tga.c in gdk-pixbuf before 2.32.0 uses heap memory after its allocation failed, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Truevision TGA (TARGA) file.
