CVE-2010-4262: Buffer Overflow
First published: Sun Nov 28 2010(Updated: )
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Xfig processed certain FIG images. A remote attacker could create a FIG image with specially-crafted color definition, and trick the local, unsuspecting user into opening it, which could lead to xfig executable crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the executable. References: [1] <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_CLOSED bz_closed bz_public " title="CLOSED DUPLICATE - xfig buffer overflow when opening .fig file with malicious colour definition" href="show_bug.cgi?id=657981">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657981</a> Public PoC: [2] <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=463393">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=463393</a> Flaw severity note: On systems with compile time buffer checks (FORTIFY_SOURCE) feature enabled, the impact of this flaw is mitigated to be only crash.
