Slythers Bro discovered multiple integer overflows in the imageop |
48 |
module, one of them in the tovideo() method, in various locations in |
49 |
files imageop.c, rbgimgmodule.c, and also in other files. |

<p> |
54 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to process specially crafted |
55 |
images with an application using the Python imageop module, resulting |
56 |
in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user |
57 |
running the application, or a Denial of Service. Note that this |
58 |
vulnerability may or may not be exploitable, depending on the |
59 |
application using the module. |
