Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Gentoo Media-libs Jpeg. It has been classified as problematic. This affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory allocation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-789. The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

The JPEG library in media-libs/jpeg before 6b-r7 on Gentoo Linux is built without the -maxmem feature, which could allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a crafted JPEG file that exceeds the intended memory limits.

The weakness was published 06/11/2006 by Tavis Ormandy (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at gentoo.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2006-3005 since 06/12/2006. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation.
