QID 671066

Simple directmedia layer (sdl) is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide fast access to the graphics frame buffer and audio device.
Security fix(es): a heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in sdl in the sdl_blitcopy() function, that was called while copying an existing surface into a new optimized one, due to lack of validation while loading a bmp image in the sdl_loadbmp_rw() function.
An application that uses sdl to parse untrusted input files may be vulnerable to this flaw, which could allow an attacker to make the application crash or possibly execute code.(cve-2019-13616)
