Description
It was discovered that Eye of GNOME incorrectly handled certain invalid
UTF-8 strings. If a user were tricked into opening a specially-crafted
image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause Eye of GNOME to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.
