[Bug 467981] [NEW] Integer overflow in the wxImage::Create function

[Stefan Lesicnik]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

CVE 2009-2369

Integer overflow in the wxImage::Create function in src/common/image.cpp
in wxWidgets 2.8.10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG file,
which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: the provenance of
this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third
party information.

Fixed in Karmic already.

** Affects: wxwidgets2.6 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-
bin/cvename.cgi?name=2009-2369
