Debian DSA-628-1 : imlib2 - integer overflows

critical Nessus Plugin ID 16106

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 and imlib2, imaging libraries for X11. An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with imlib or imlib2 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. No such code is present in imlib2.

 - CAN-2004-1026

 Multiple integer overflows in the imlib library.

Solution

Upgrade the imlib2 packages.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.5-2woody2.
