CVE-2019-5058: An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the XCF image rendering functionality of SDL2_image 2...

An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the XCF image rendering functionality of SDL2_image 2.0.4. A specially crafted XCF image can cause a heap overflow, resulting in code execution. An attacker can display a specially crafted image to trigger this vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

SDL2_image 2.0.4 can mishandle XCF image rendering in a way that may let an attacker run code if a crafted image is displayed. The business risk is highest where applications process images from users, customers, or the internet. Exposure is likely in software or systems using SDL_Image 2.0.4 to render XCF images, especially where untrusted images can be opened, previewed, uploaded, or displayed. Treat as high priority for systems that process user-supplied images. It can lead to code execution, but available evidence does not establish active exploitation in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Inventory applications and packages using SDL_Image or SDL2_image 2.0.4.; Check SDL2_image, operating system, and distribution advisories for fixed packages.; Apply vendor or distribution updates where available..

Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Heap-based Buffer Overflow represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
