These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for enlightenment, sorted by severity first and recency.
imlib2 v1.9.1 was discovered to mishandle memory allocation in the function init_imlib_fonts().
An issue in the imlib_free_image_and_decache function of imlib2 v1.9.1 allows attackers to cause a heap buffer overflow via parsing a crafted image.
An issue in the imlib_load_image_with_error_return function of imlib2 v1.9.1 allows attackers to cause a heap buffer overflow via parsing a crafted image.
enlightenment_sys in Enlightenment before 0.25.4 allows local users to gain privileges because it is setuid root, and the system library function mishandles pathnames that begin with a /dev/.. substring.
modules/loaders/loader_ico.c in imlib2 1.6.0 has an integer overflow (with resultant invalid memory allocations and out-of-bounds reads) via an icon with many colors in its color map.
Terminology before 1.3.1 allows Remote Code Execution because popmedia is mishandled, as demonstrated by an unsafe "cat README.md" command when \e}pn is used. A popmedia control sequence can allow the malicious execution of executable file formats registered in the X desktop share MIME types (/usr/share/applications). The control sequence defers unknown file types to the handle_unknown_media() function, which executes xdg-open against the filename specified in the sequence. The use of xdg-open for all unknown file types allows executable file formats with a registered shared MIME type to be executed. An attacker can achieve remote code execution by introducing an executable file and a plain text file containing the control sequence through a fake software project (e.g., in Git or a tarball). When the control sequence is rendered (such as with cat), the executable file will be run.
Enlightenment before 0.17.6 might allow local users to gain privileges via vectors involving the gdb method.
An unspecified setuid root helper in Enlightenment before 0.17.6 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging failure to properly sanitize the environment.
Terminology 0.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via escape sequences that modify the window title and then are written to the terminal, a similar issue to CVE-2003-0063.
Integer overflow in imlib2 before 1.4.9 on 32-bit platforms allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via large dimensions in an image, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap memory write operation.
The GIF loader in imlib2 before 1.4.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or obtain sensitive information via a crafted image, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
Off-by-one error in the __imlib_MergeUpdate function in lib/updates.c in imlib2 before 1.4.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via crafted coordinates.
Integer overflow in imlib2 before 1.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or application crash) via a crafted image, which triggers an invalid read operation.
imlib2 before 1.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a crafted GIF file.
imlib2 before 1.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted PNM file.
imlib2 before 1.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a GIF image without a colormap.
imlib2 before 1.4.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) by drawing a 2x1 ellipse.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in imlib2 1.4.3 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) ARGB, (2) XPM, or (3) BMP file, related to the IMAGE_DIMENSIONS_OK macro in lib/image.h.
imlib2 before 1.4.2 allows context-dependent attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted (1) ARGB, (2) BMP, (3) JPEG, (4) LBM, (5) PNM, (6) TGA, or (7) XPM file, related to "several heap and stack based buffer overflows - partly due to integer overflows."
The load function in the XPM loader for imlib2 1.4.2, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted XPM file that triggers a "pointer arithmetic error" and a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2426.
Multiple integer overflows in imlib2 allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) ARGB (loader_argb.c), (2) PNG (loader_png.c), (3) LBM (loader_lbm.c), (4) JPEG (loader_jpeg.c), or (5) TIFF (loader_tiff.c) images.
Stack-based buffer overflow in loader_pnm.c in imlib2 before 1.2.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNM image.
loader_tga.c in imlib2 before 1.2.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted TGA image that triggers an out-of-bounds memory read, a different issue than CVE-2006-4808.
Heap-based buffer overflow in loader_tga.c in imlib2 before 1.2.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TGA image.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in imlib 1.9.14 and earlier, which is used by gkrellm and several window managers, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and execute arbitrary code via certain image files.
Multiple integer overflows in the image handler for imlib 1.9.14 and earlier, which is used by gkrellm and several window managers, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and execute arbitrary code via certain image files.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the imlib BMP image handler allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.
Buffer overflow in the BMP loader in imlib2 before 1.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially-crafted BMP image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0817.
Multiple buffer overflows in the ImageMagick graphics library 5.x before 5.4.4, and 6.x before 6.0.6.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed (1) AVI, (2) BMP, or (3) DIB files.
Imlib before 1.9.13 sometimes uses the NetPBM package to load trusted images, which could allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain weaknesses of NetPBM.
Vulnerability in Imlib before 1.9.13 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by manipulating arguments that are passed to malloc, which results in a heap corruption.
Buffer overflow in Eterm of Enlightenment Imlib2 1.0.4 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable.
