Title: GTK2 GDKPixBufLoader Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

The gtk2 package contains the GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a graphics library for use with the X Window System.

Applications using the gtk2 library may be prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because the 'GdkPixbuLoader()' function fails to properly handle malformed image data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a victim user to open a malformed image file with an application using the library. This would cause the application to crash.

A successful exploit will cause denial-of-service conditions, preventing legitimate users from using certain applications.
