Service (DoS) or Execution of Arbitrary Code
_________________________________________________________________
Category : Security
Release Phase : Workaround
Bug Id : 6901023
Product : Solaris 10 Operating System
OpenSolaris
Date of Workaround Release : 15-Dec-2009
An integer overflow vulnerability in the GNU Image Manipulation Program ...
1. Impact
An integer overflow vulnerability in the GNU Image Manipulation
Program (GIMP(1)) may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to crash gimp
via a carefully crafted Bitmap (bmp) image file, resulting in a Denial
of Service (DoS) or to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a
local user using gimp application.
This issue is also described in the following document:
CVE-2009-1570 at http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1570
2. Contributing Factors
This issue can occur in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
* Solaris 10
* OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_87 through snv_128
x86 Platform
* Solaris 10
* OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_87 through snv_128
Note 1: Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 do not ship GIMP and are thus not
impacted by this issue.
Note 2: OpenSolaris distributions may include additional bug fixes
above and beyond the build from which it was derived. The base build can be
derived as follows:
$ uname -a
snv_115
3. Symptoms
Should the described issue occur, the GNU Image Manipulation Program
(GIMP(1)) may crash and potentially create a core dump depending on
the system configuration.
4. Workaround
To work around the described issue, do not load BitMap (bmp) images
from untrusted sources.
5. Resolution
This issue is addressed in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
* OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_129 or later
x86 Platform
* OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_129 or later
A final resolution is pending completion for Solaris 10.
