CVE-2009-4134

Publication date 27 May 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Buffer underflow in the rgbimg module in Python 2.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large ZSIZE value in a black-and-white (aka B/W) RGB image that triggers an invalid pointer dereference.
