Tracker summary

CVE-2017-6009 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (icoutils), 13 status rows across 13 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, disco, eoan, focal, groovy, precise, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): not-affected 8, released 4, ignored 1.

Description:

An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. A buffer overflow was observed in the "decode_ne_resource_id" function in the "restable.c" source file. This is happening because the "len" parameter for memcpy is not checked for size and thus becomes a negative integer in the process, resulting in a failed memcpy. This affects wrestool.
