Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in gdk-pixbuf, a toolkit for image loading and pixel buffer manipulation. A remote attacker can take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial-of-service against an application using gdk-pixbuf (application crash), or potentially, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, if a malformed image is opened. For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 2.31.1-2+deb8u5. We recommend that you upgrade your gdk-pixbuf packages.
