CVE-2009-2294

25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2009-2294 describes an integer overflow vulnerability in the Png_datainfo_callback function of Dillo 2.1 and earlier. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code by providing a specially crafted PNG image with manipulated width or height values. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe, requiring no authentication and having low attack complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no known exploit code in common databases like Metasploit or ExploitDB, and minimal community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it is not currently a high-profile threat.
