Summary

GNOME GUI desktop environment. The GdkPixBuf library provides image

loading facilities, the rendering of a GdkPixBuf into various formats

(drawables or GdkRGB buffers), and a cache interface.

It is possible that a specially crafted BMP image could cause a denial

of service attack in applications linked against gdk-pixbuf.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has

assigned the name CAN-2005-0891 to this issue.
