FreeBSD : gdk-pixbuf2 -- a heap buffer overflow (3d4393b2-68a5-11f0-b2b4-589cfc10832a)

high Nessus Plugin ID 242915

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 3d4393b2-68a5-11f0-b2b4-589cfc10832a advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 A flaw exists in gdk-pixbuf within the gdk_pixbuf__jpeg_image_load_increment function (io-jpeg.c) and in glibs g_base64_encode_step (glib/gbase64.c).
 When processing maliciously crafted JPEG images, a heap buffer overflow can occur during Base64 encoding, allowing out-of-bounds reads from heap memory, potentially causing application crashes or arbitrary code execution.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
