Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-26 21:17 - Updated: 2026-04-03 20:17
Severity ?
4.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
6.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
A flaw was found in GIMP. An integer overflow vulnerability exists when processing ICO image files, specifically in the `ico_read_info` and `ico_read_icon` functions. This issue arises because a size calculation for image buffers can wrap around due to a 32-bit integer evaluation, allowing oversized image headers to bypass security checks. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted ICO file, leading to a buffer overflow and memory corruption, which may result in an application level denial of service.

Existe una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de entero al procesar archivos de imagen ICO, espec\u00edficamente en las funciones `ico_read_info` e `ico_read_icon`. Este problema surge porque un c\u00e1lculo de tama\u00f1o para los b\u00faferes de imagen puede dar la vuelta debido a una evaluaci\u00f3n de entero de 32 bits, permitiendo que los encabezados de imagen sobredimensionados eludan las comprobaciones de seguridad. Un atacante remoto podr\u00eda explotar esto proporcionando un archivo ICO especialmente dise\u00f1ado, lo que lleva a un desbordamiento de b\u00fafer y corrupci\u00f3n de memoria, lo que puede resultar en una denegaci\u00f3n de servicio a nivel de aplicaci\u00f3n."
