Background ========== xzgv is a picture viewer for X, with a thumbnail-based file selector. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-gfx/xzgv <= 0.8 >= 0.8-r1 Description =========== Multiple overflows have been found in the image processing code of xzgv, including an integer overflow in the PRF parsing code (CAN-2004-0994). Impact ====== An attacker could entice a user to open or browse a specially-crafted image file, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running xzgv. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All xzgv users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/xzgv-0.8-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2004-0994 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0994 [ 2 ] iDEFENSE Advisory http://www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=160&type=vulnerabilities&flashstatus=true Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200501-09.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.
