--- title: "CVE-2007-5378\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2007-5378?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2007-5378 Publication date 11 October 2007 Last updated 24 July 2024 --- Ubuntu priority **Low** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description Buffer overflow in the FileReadGIF function in tkImgGIF.c for Tk Toolkit 8.4.12 and earlier, and 8.3.5 and earlier, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via an animated GIF in which the first subimage is smaller than a subsequent subimage, which triggers the overflow in the ReadImage function, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-5137. ### From the Ubuntu Security Team USN-529-1 It was discovered that Tk could be made to overrun a buffer when loading certain images. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF image, remote attackers could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with user privileges. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | libtk-img | 11.10 oneiric | Not affected | | 11.04 natty | Not affected | | 10.10 maverick | Not affected | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 9.10 karmic | Not affected | | 9.04 jaunty | Not affected | | 8.10 intrepid | Fixed 1:1.3-release-7+lenny1build0.8.10.1 | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Ignored end of life | | 7.10 gutsy | Ignored end of life, was needed | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Ignored end of life | | tk8.3 | 11.10 oneiric | Not in release | | 11.04 natty | Not affected | | 10.10 maverick | Not affected | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 9.10 karmic | Not affected | | 9.04 jaunty | Not affected | | 8.10 intrepid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not affected | | 7.10 gutsy | Fixed 8.3.5-6ubuntu3 | | 7.04 feisty | Fixed 8.3.5-6ubuntu2.1 | | 6.10 edgy | Fixed 8.3.5-6ubuntu1.1 | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Fixed 8.3.5-4ubuntu1.1 | | tk8.4 | 11.10 oneiric | Not affected | | 11.04 natty | Not affected | | 10.10 maverick | Not affected | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 9.10 karmic | Not affected | | 9.04 jaunty | Not affected | | 8.10 intrepid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not affected | | 7.10 gutsy | Fixed 8.4.15-1ubuntu1 | | 7.04 feisty | Fixed 8.4.14-0ubuntu2.1 | | 6.10 edgy | Fixed 8.4.12-1ubuntu0.1 | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Fixed 8.4.12-0ubuntu1.1 | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) ## References * [MITRE](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5378) * [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2007-5378) * [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/bugs/cve/CVE-2007-5378) * [Debian](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2007-5378) ### Related Ubuntu Security Notices (USN) + [USN-529-1](https://usn.ubuntu.com/USN-529-1) + Tk vulnerability + 11 October 2007 ### Other references *
