Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in imlib2 up to 1.4.6. This affects an unknown part of the component Image Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Integer overflow in imlib2 before 1.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or application crash) via a crafted image, which triggers an invalid read operation.
