An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists when loading a PCX file in SDL2_image 2.0.4. A specially crafted file can cause an integer overflow, resulting in too little memory being allocated, which can lead to a buffer overflow and potential code execution. An attacker can provide a specially crafted image file to trigger this vulnerability.

It was discovered that SDL_image incorrectly handled certain image files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact.

The following issues have been found in sdl-image1.2, the 1.x version of the image file loading library.

CVE-2018-3977

Heap buffer overflow in IMG_xcf.c. This vulnerability might be leveraged by remote attackers to cause remote code execution or denial of service via a crafted XCF file.

CVE-2019-5051

Heap based buffer overflow in IMG_LoadPCX_RW, in IMG_pcx.c. This vulnerability might be leveraged by remote attackers to cause remote code execution or denial of service via a crafted PCX file.

CVE-2019-5052

Integer overflow and subsequent buffer overflow in IMG_pcx.c. This vulnerability might be leveraged by remote attackers to cause remote code execution or denial of service via a crafted PCX file.

CVE-2019-7635

Heap buffer overflow affecting Blit1to4, in IMG_bmp.c. This vulnerability might be leveraged by remote attackers to cause denial of service or any other unspecified impact via a crafted BMP file.
