CVE-2006-4484 (2008-10-01)

Buffer overflow in the LWZReadByte_ function in the GD extension in allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via a GIF file with input_code_size greater than MAX_LWZ_BITS, which triggers an overflow when initializing the table array.

CVE-2007-4769 (2008-01-09)

The regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (backend crash) via an out-of-bounds backref number.

CVE-2003-0107 (2003-03-07)

Buffer overflow in the gzprintf function in zlib 1.1.4, when zlib is compiled without vsnprintf or when long inputs are truncated using vsnprintf, allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2007-4772 (2008-01-09)

The regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted regular expression.

CVE-2007-6067 (2008-01-09)

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted "complex" regular expression with doubly-nested states.

CVE-2017-12652 (2019-07-10)

libpng before 1.6.32 does not properly check the length of chunks against the user limit.

NAME

Tk::pTk::GetPixels, Tk::pTk::GetScreenMM - translate between strings and screen units

SYNOPSIS

#include <tk.h>

int Tk_GetPixels(interp, tkwin, string, intPtr)

int Tk_GetScreenMM(interp, tkwin, string, doublePtr)

ARGUMENTS

Tcl_Interp *interp (in)

Interpreter to use for error reporting.

Tk_Window tkwin (in)

Window whose screen geometry determines the conversion between absolute units and pixels.

char *string (in)

String that specifies a distance on the screen.

int *intPtr (out)

Pointer to location in which to store converted distance in pixels.

double *doublePtr (out)

Pointer to location in which to store converted distance in millimeters.

DESCRIPTION

These two procedures take as argument a specification of distance on the screen (string) and compute the corresponding distance either in integer pixels or floating-point millimeters. In either case, string specifies a screen distance as a floating-point number followed by one of the following characters that indicates units:

<none>

The number specifies a distance in pixels.

c

The number specifies a distance in centimeters on the screen.

i

The number specifies a distance in inches on the screen.

m

The number specifies a distance in millimeters on the screen.

p

The number specifies a distance in printer's points (1/72 inch) on the screen.

Tk_GetPixels converts string to the nearest even number of pixels and stores that value at *intPtr. Tk_GetScreenMM converts string to millimeters and stores the double-precision floating-point result at *doublePtr.

Both procedures return TCL_OK under normal circumstances. If an error occurs (e.g. string contains a number followed by a character that isn't one of the ones above) then TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in interp->result.

KEYWORDS

centimeters, convert, inches, millimeters, pixels, points, screen units
