CVE-2022-48622 (GCVE-0-2022-48622)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-01-26 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-26 19:25
VLAI
Summary
In GNOME GdkPixbuf (aka gdk-pixbuf) through 2.42.10, the ANI (Windows animated cursor) decoder encounters heap memory corruption (in ani_load_chunk in io-ani.c) when parsing chunks in a crafted .ani file. A crafted file could allow an attacker to overwrite heap metadata, leading to a denial of service or code execution attack. This occurs in gdk_pixbuf_set_option() in gdk-pixbuf.c.
Severity
