critical Nessus Plugin ID 15953

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in zgv, an SVGAlib graphics viewer for the i386 architecture. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems :

 - CAN-2004-1095 'infamous41md' discovered multiple integer overflows in zgv. Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability could allow the execution of arbitrary code.

 - CAN-2004-0999

 Mikulas Patocka discovered that malicious multiple-image (e.g. animated) GIF images can cause a segmentation fault in zgv.
