CVE-2004-0783: Buffer Overflow
First published: Fri Sep 17 2004(Updated: )
Stack-based buffer overflow in xpm_extract_color (io-xpm.c) in the XPM image decoder for gtk+ 2.4.4 (gtk2) and earlier, and gdk-pixbuf before 0.22, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain color string. NOTE: this identifier is ONLY for gtk+. It was incorrectly referenced in an advisory for a different issue (CVE-2004-0688).
