Summary
gdk-pixbuf vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle certain jpeg images. If an user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted jpeg file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2862)

It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle certain tiff images. If an user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted tiff file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (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)
