CVE-2013-1978

Publication date 4 December 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_xwd_cols function in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in in GIMP 2.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an X Window System (XWD) image dump with more colors than color map entries.
