Multiple integer overflows in operations/external/ppm-load.c in GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) 0.2.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a large (1) width or (2) height value in a Portable Pixel Map (ppm) image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

New gegl packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and
-current to fix security issues.

This update for gegl fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

  - Fix CVE-2012-4433: Fix buffer overflow in and add     plausibility checks to ppm-load op (bsc#789835).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update update project.

This update for gegl fixes the following issues: Security issue fixed :

  - Fix CVE-2012-4433: Fix buffer overflow in and add     plausibility checks to ppm-load op (bsc#789835).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - Multiple integer overflows in     operations/external/ppm-load.c in GEGL (Generic Graphics     Library) 0.2.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (application crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a large (1) width or (2) height value     in a Portable Pixel Map (ppm) image, which triggers a     heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2012-4433)

Fix integer overflow by parsing PPM image. (bnc#789835, CVE-2012-4433)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201310-05 (GEGL: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    Multiple integer overflows in GEGL may cause a heap-based buffer       overflow.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PPM       image using an application linked against GEGL, possibly resulting in       execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a       Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2012:1455 :

Updated gegl packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a graph-based image processing framework.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the gegl utility processed .ppm (Portable Pixel Map) image files. An attacker could create a specially crafted .ppm file that, when opened in gegl, would cause gegl to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-4433)

This issue was discovered by Murray McAllister of the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Users of gegl should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

This update contains the following changes :

  - Fix buffer overflow in and add plausibility checks to     the ppm-load operation.

    - Fix multi-lib issue where content of generated       documentation could differ between architectures.
