Description

Updated gdk-pixbuf2.0 packages fix security vulnerability JPEG gdk_pixbuf__jpeg_image_load_increment Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2017-2862). tiff_image_parse Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2017-2870). Ariel Zelivansky discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle printing certain error messages. If an user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2017-6311). Out-of-bounds read on io-ico.c (CVE-2017-6312). A dangerous integer underflow in io-icns.c (CVE-2017-6313). Infinite loop in io-tiff.c (CVE-2017-6314). Note, the CVE-2017-2862, CVE-2017-2870, and CVE-2017-6311 issues only affected Mageia 5.
