Gnome gdk-pixbuf 2.36.8 and older is vulnerable to several integer overflow in the gif_get_lzw function resulting in memory corruption and potential code execution

According to the versions of the gdk-pixbuf2 package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow, leading to a heap-based buffer     overflow, was found in the way gdk-pixbuf, an image     loading library for GNOME, scaled certain bitmap format     images. An attacker could use a specially crafted BMP     image file that, when processed by an application     compiled against the gdk-pixbuf library, would cause     that application to crash or execute arbitrary code     with the permissions of the user running the     application.(CVE-2015-4491)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201804-14 (GDK-PixBuf: Remote code execution)

    Several integer overflows were discovered in GDK-PixBuf&rsquo;s gif_get_lzw       function.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted       image file, could execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service       condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the versions of the gdk-pixbuf2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An exploitable heap overflow vulnerability exists in     the gdk_pixbuf__jpeg_image_load_increment functionality     of Gdk-Pixbuf 2.36.6. A specially crafted jpeg file can     cause a heap overflow resulting in remote code     execution. An attacker can send a file or url to     trigger this vulnerability.i1/4^CVE-2017-2862i1/4%0

  - An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists in     the tiff_image_parse functionality of Gdk-Pixbuf 2.36.6     when compiled with Clang. A specially crafted tiff file     can cause a heap-overflow resulting in remote code     execution. An attacker can send a file or a URL to     trigger this vulnerability.i1/4^CVE-2017-2870i1/4%0

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3532-1 advisory.

    It was discoreved that GDK-PixBuf incorrectly handled certain gif images. An attacker could use this to     execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-1000422)

    Ariel Zelivansky discovered that GDK-PixBuf incorrectly handled certain images. An attacker could use this     to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-6312, CVE-2017-6313)

    Ariel Zelivansky discovered that GDK-PixBuf incorrectly handled large TIFF files. An attacker could use     this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-6314)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It was discovered that multiple integer overflows in the GIF image loader in the GDK Pixbuf library may result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed image file is opened.
