Debian DSA-618-1 : imlib - buffer overflows, integer overflows

critical Nessus Plugin ID 16049

Synopsis

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

Description

Pavel Kankovsky discovered that several overflows found in the libXpm library were also present in imlib, an imaging library for X and X11.
An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with imlib to execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CAN-2004-1025 Multiple heap-based buffer overflows.

- CAN-2004-1026

Multiple integer overflows.

Solution

Upgrade the imlib packages immediately.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.14-2woody2.
