What is CVE-2012-2370?

The gdk-pixbuf library is susceptible to an integer overflow vulnerability within the read_bitmap_file_data function. This vulnerability arises when handling XBM files, which can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow if an attacker crafts a file with a negative height or width. As a result, remote attackers can exploit this flaw to cause denial of service by crashing the application. Proper validation of file dimensions is essential to prevent this type of attack.
