Vulnerability Insight:
Brief introduction

CVE-2017-5208

Choongwoo Han reported[0] an exploitable crash in wrestool from icoutils. The command line tools is e.g. used in KDE's metadataparsing.

CVE-2017-5331

It turned out that the correction for CVE-2017-5208 was not enough so an additional correction was needed.

CVE-2017-5332

But as I see it there are still combinations of the arguments which make the test succeed even though the the memory block identified by offset size is not fully inside memory total_size.

CVE-2017-5333

The memory check was not stringent enough on 64 bit systems.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 0.29.1-5deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your icoutils packages.
