Description
It was discovered that libxcursor before 1.1.15 is vulnerable to heap overflows due to an integer overflow while parsing images and a signedness issue while parsing comments. An attacker could use local privileges or trick a user into parsing a malicious file to cause libxcursor to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
