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

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

<workaround>
