CVE-2020-29385

GNOME gdk-pixbuf (aka GdkPixbuf) before 2.42.2 allows a denial of service (infinite loop) in lzw.c in the function write_indexes. if c->self_code equals 10, self->code_table[10].extends will assign the value 11 to c. The next execution in the loop will assign self->code_table[11].extends to c, which will give the value of 10. This will make the loop run infinitely. This bug can, for example, be triggered by calling this function with a GIF image with LZW compression that is crafted in a special way.

gdk is written in C but has been designed from the ground up to support a wide range of languages. It provide a complete set of widgets,and suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites.

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in gdk-pixbuf in versions before 2.42.0. An integer wraparound leading to an out of bounds write can occur when a crafted GIF image is loaded. An attacker may cause applications to crash or could potentially execute code on the victim system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.(CVE-2021-20240)

This update for gdk-pixbuf fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2020-29385: Fixed an infinite loop in lzw.c in the function write_indexes (bsc#1180393).
• Fixed an integer underflow in the GIF loader (bsc#1174307).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update update project.

These are all security issues fixed in the gdk-pixbuf-devel-2.42.6-3.2 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for gdk-pixbuf fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2020-29385: Fixed an infinite loop in lzw.c in the function write_indexes (bsc#1180393).
• Fixed an integer underflow in the GIF loader (bsc#1174307).

Melvin Kool discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle certain GIF images. If an user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to hang, resulting in a denial of service.
