security flaw

gdk-pixbuf before 0.20 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed bitmap (BMP) file.

The cairo library (libcairo), as used in GNOME Evolution and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent client crash) via an attached text file that contains "Content-Disposition: inline" in the header, and a very long line in the body, which causes the client to repeatedly crash until the e-mail message is manually removed, possibly due to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using an XML attachment.

security flaw

VTE, as used by default in gnome-terminal terminal emulator 2.2 and as an option in gnome-terminal 2.0, allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

DoS from large email

GNOME Evolution 2.4.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via a text e-mail with a large number of URLs, possibly due to unknown problems in gtkhtml.

security flaw

Integer overflow in the GTK+ gdk-pixbuf XPM image rendering library in GTK+ 2.4.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via an XPM file with a number of colors that causes insufficient memory to be allocated, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

GDM 2.4.4.x before 2.4.4.4, and 2.4.1.x before 2.4.1.7, does not limit the number or duration of commands and uses a blocking socket connection, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by sending commands and not reading the results.

security flaw

Integer overflow in io-xpm.c in gdk-pixbuf 0.22.0 in GTK+ before 2.8.7 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via an XPM file with large height, width, and colour values, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3186.

Buffer overflow in efstools in Bonobo, when installed setuid, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments.

security flaw

io-xpm.c in the gdk-pixbuf XPM image rendering library in GTK+ before 2.8.7 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted XPM image with a large number of colors.

GDM 2.4.4.x before 2.4.4.4, and 2.4.1.x before 2.4.1.7, does not restrict the size of input, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the GNOME Data Access library for GNOME2 (libgda2) 1.2.1 and earlier allow attackers to execute arbitrary code.

security flaw

Format string vulnerability in Evolution 1.4 through 2.3.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via the calendar entries such as task lists, which are not properly handled when the user selects the Calendars tab.

security flaw

The X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP) support for GDM before 2.4.1.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a short authorization key name.

Buffer overflow in the permitted function of GNOME gtop daemon (libgtop_daemon) in libgtop 1.0.13 and earlier may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long authentication data.

security flaw

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in Evolution 1.5 through 2.3.6.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) full vCard data, (2) contact data from remote LDAP servers, or (3) task list data from remote servers.

libICE in XFree86 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by specifying a large value which is not properly checked by the SKIP_STRING macro.

Format string vulnerability in the nm_info_handler function in Network Manager may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a Wireless Access Point identifier, which is not properly handled in a syslog call.

security flaw

The X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP) support for GDM before 2.4.1.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) when a chosen host expires, a different issue than CVE-2003-0549.

security flaw

Format string vulnerability in gedit 2.10.2 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a bin file with format string specifiers in the filename. NOTE: while this issue is triggered on the command line by the gedit user, it has been reported that web browsers and email clients could be configured to provide a file name as an argument to gedit, so there is a valid attack that crosses security boundaries.

security flaw

Double free vulnerability in gtk 2 (gtk2) before 2.2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted BMP image.
