resulting in information disclosure . An attacker can display a specially
crafted image to trigger this vulnerability.

Comment 1 Jan Engelhardt 2018-06-04 09:09:31 UTC

Probably fixed, but no way of knowing since the report is lacking a reproducer, and the SCM commits don't mention any CVE/etc. IDs.

Comment 2 Marcus Meissner 2018-06-25 12:35:45 UTC

https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_image/rev/2938fc80591a

seems the fix for it, is in 2.0.3.

Comment 3 Marcus Meissner 2018-06-25 12:40:06 UTC

42.3, 15.0 and factory is fixed with 2.0.3.

in sle11 it is only in the SDK and not likely used at all, so we can close.
