Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Enlightenment imlib2 up to 1.1.2. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the file loader_tga.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). As an impact it is known to affect availability. The summary by CVE is:

Heap-based buffer overflow in loader_tga.c in imlib2 before 1.2.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TGA image.
