Discussion

GTK+ Multiple DLL Loading Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities

GTK+ is prone to multiple vulnerabilities that let attackers execute arbitrary code.

An attacker can exploit these issues by enticing a legitimate user to use the vulnerable application to open a file from a network share location that contains a specially crafted Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file.

Exploit / POC

GTK+ Multiple DLL Loading Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities

Attackers must trick a user into opening a file on a remote WebDAV or SMB share to exploit this issue.

A general exploit technique has been documented by TheLeader and H.D. Moore for the Metasploit Project; please see the references for more information.

Solution / Fix
