Hi, I would like to bring the attention of the oss-security list to the existence of many security issues in the gdk-pixbuf library and its dependencies causing a that attaching a corrupted image file in Linux has become a risky business. For instance, there is a read out-of-bounds in librsvg2 (a dependency of gdk-pixbuf used to render svg images), which can be easily triggered if you try to attach a svg in Firefox. I tested it in Ubuntu 14.04 (x86_64) using the corresponding version of librsvg2 (2.40.2-1 with debug symbols) and Firefox. To reproduce: 1. Download and unpack boom.tar.gz somewhere. 2. gdb --args /usr/lib/firefox/firefox 3. Execute "run" and try to attach (ctrl+o) the svg file inside boom directory in Firefox. Result: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007fffbb7a4c0d in rsvg_pattern_fix_fallback (pattern=pattern@entry=0x7ffffffea110) at rsvg-paint-server.c:645 645 rsvg-paint-server.c: No such file or directory.

() from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0 ... It is interesting to note that rcx looks controllable: (gdb) x/i $rip => 0x7fffbb7a4c0d <rsvg_pattern_fix_fallback+333>: testb $0x4,0xe4(%rcx) (gdb) info registers ... rcx 0xe5e5e5e5e5e5e5e5 -1880844493789993499 ... Fortunately, this issue is already solved in the last revision of librsvg2 (AFAIK, this issue has no CVE, so please MITRE assign one if suitable). Nevertheless, I reported such vulnerability to Mozilla more than a month ago hoping that they will disable the svg support in the open/attach widget. After some discussion, it was marked as WONTFIX. While i understand why, i still feel it can be productive to discuss this here. (the same trick can be used to crash Chrome/Chromium, since the code to open/attach an image is almost the same, so this is not a Firefox specific issue) Regards, Gustavo
