Stack-based buffer overflow in Xfig 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a FIG image with a crafted color definition.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4262 affects legacy Xfig versions 3.2.4 and 3.2.5. A specially crafted FIG drawing file can crash the application and may allow code execution. The business risk is mainly where users or automated workflows open untrusted FIG files. Exposure is most likely on desktops, engineering workstations, or conversion workflows with Xfig 3.2.4 or 3.2.5 installed and access to untrusted FIG files. Prioritize remediation where Xfig is installed on user-facing or file-processing systems. The issue is old and not KEV-listed, but possible code execution from a document file warrants cleanup of legacy exposure. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Xfig 3.2.4 and 3.2.5.; Update Xfig through supported distribution packages after checking vendor advisories.; Remove Xfig where it is no longer required..
