Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Heap-based buffer overflow in the readxwdcols function in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in in GIMP 2.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an X Window System (XWD) image dump with more colors than color map entries.

Integer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Integer overflow in the loadimage function in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in in GIMP 2.6.9 and earlier, when used with glib before 2.24, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large color entries value in an X Window System (XWD) image dump.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

DISPUTED GLib 2.31.8 and earlier, when the gstrhash function is used, computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table. NOTE: this issue may be disputed by the vendor; the existence of the gstrhash function is not a vulnerability in the library, because callers of ghashtablenew and ghashtablenewfull can specify an arbitrary hash function that is appropriate for the application.
