Summary

libxpm vulnerabilities

Details

Yair Mizrahi discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain malformed XPM image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM image file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to consume memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-43786)

Yair Mizrahi discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain malformed XPM image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM image file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause libXpm to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-43787)
