What is CVE-2004-0753?

The BMP image processing component of GDK-Pixbuf and GTK2 is susceptible to a denial of service attack due to improper handling of crafted BMP files. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to create an infinite loop, effectively rendering the application unresponsive. This can be triggered by a specially crafted BMP file, potentially affecting systems that process such images without adequate validation. The vulnerability affects versions of GDK-Pixbuf prior to 0.22 and GTK2 versions before 2.2.4, creating a risk for applications relying on these libraries for image rendering.
