CVE-2015-2785: Buffer Overflow
First published: Tue Aug 28 2012(Updated: )
Out-of heap-based buffer write flaw was found in the way Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) image format encoder of Byzanz, a desktop recorder, performed encoding of certain Byzanz debug data recordings (ByzanzRecording files) into GIF images. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted Byzanz debug data recording file that, when opened in byzanz-playback executable would lead to that executable crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the byzanz-playback binary. This issue was found by: Murray McAllister, Red Hat Security Response Team
