Summary

The integer overflow vulnerability in the Imlib2 library, present in versions before 1.4.9 on 32-bit platforms, can be exploited by remote attackers. By providing images with excessively large dimensions, attackers can trigger an out-of-bounds write operation in the heap memory. This could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution on the affected systems, compromising the integrity and security of the application using Imlib2 for image processing.
