Background ========== xv is a multi-format image manipulation utility. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-gfx/xv < 3.10a-r7 >= 3.10a-r7 Description =========== Multiple buffer overflow and integer handling vulnerabilities have been discovered in xv's image processing code. These vulnerabilities have been found in the xvbmp.c, xviris.c, xvpcx.c and xvpm.c source files. Impact ====== An attacker might be able to embed malicious code into an image, which would lead to the execution of arbitrary code under the privileges of the user viewing the image. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All xv users should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r7" # emerge ">=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r7" References ========== [ 1 ] BugTraq Advisory http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/372345/2004-08-15/2004-08-21/0 [ 2 ] CAN-2004-0802 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0802 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200409-07.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
