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-2018-25032 (2022-03-25)

zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.

CVE-2011-3045 (2012-03-22)

Integer signedness error in the png_inflate function in pngrutil.c in libpng before 1.4.10beta01, as used in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.83 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-3026.

CVE-2016-10087 (2017-01-30)

The png_set_text_2 function in libpng 0.71 before 1.0.67, 1.2.x before 1.2.57, 1.4.x before 1.4.20, 1.5.x before 1.5.28, and 1.6.x before 1.6.27 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a NULL pointer dereference vectors involving loading a text chunk into a png structure, removing the text, and then adding another text chunk to the structure.

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.

NAME

Tk_FreeXId - make X resource identifier available for reuse

SYNOPSIS

#include <tk.h>

Tk_FreeXId(display, id)

ARGUMENTS

Display *display (in)

Display for which id was allocated.

XID id (in)

Identifier of X resource (window, font, pixmap, cursor, graphics context, or colormap) that is no longer in use.

DESCRIPTION

The default allocator for resource identifiers provided by Xlib is very simple-minded and does not allow resource identifiers to be re-used. If a long-running application reaches the end of the resource id space, it will generate an X protocol error and crash. Tk replaces the default id allocator with its own allocator, which allows identifiers to be reused. In order for this to work, Tk_FreeXId must be called to tell the allocator about resources that have been freed. Tk automatically calls Tk_FreeXId whenever it frees a resource, so if you use procedures like Tk_GetFontStruct, Tk_GetGC, and Tk_GetPixmap then you need not call Tk_FreeXId. However, if you allocate resources directly from Xlib, for example by calling XCreatePixmap, then you should call Tk_FreeXId when you call the corresponding Xlib free procedure, such as XFreePixmap. If you don't call Tk_FreeXId then the resource identifier will be lost, which could cause problems if the application runs long enough to lose all of the available identifiers.
