Description

In KDE Krita before 5.2.13, loading a manipulated TGA file could result in a heap-based buffer overflow in plugins/impex/tga/kis_tga_import.cpp (aka KisTgaImport). Control flow proceeds even when a number of pixels becomes negative.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a heap-based buffer overflow in KDE Krita versions before 5.2.13. It occurs when loading a manipulated TGA file, specifically in the KisTgaImport plugin. The issue arises because the program continues processing even when the number of pixels becomes negative, leading to memory corruption.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to memory corruption due to a heap-based buffer overflow, which may allow an attacker to alter the program's control flow. This could potentially result in denial of service or execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Krita.
