Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : gdk-pixbuf (MDKSA-2005:214)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20446

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A heap overflow vulnerability in the GTK+ gdk-pixbuf XPM image rendering library could allow for arbitrary code execution. This allows an attacker to provide a carefully crafted XPM image which could possibly allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the user viewing the image. (CVE-2005-3186)

Ludwig Nussel discovered an integer overflow bug in the way gdk-pixbuf processes XPM images. An attacker could create a carefully crafted XPM file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with gdk-pixbuf to execute arbitrary code or crash when the file was opened by a victim. (CVE-2005-2976)

Ludwig Nussel also discovered an infinite-loop denial of service bug in the way gdk-pixbuf processes XPM images. An attacker could create a carefully crafted XPM file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with gdk-pixbuf to stop responding when the file was opened by a victim. (CVE-2005-2975)

The gtk+2.0 library also contains the same gdk-pixbuf code with the same vulnerability.

The Corporate Server 2.1 packages have additional patches to address CVE-2004-0782,0783,0788 (additional XPM/ICO image issues), CVE-2004-0753 (BMP image issues) and CVE-2005-0891 (additional BMP issues). These were overlooked on this platform with earlier updates.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
