Background ========== Imlib 2 is an advanced replacement library for libraries like libXpm. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/imlib2 < 1.4.0-r1 >= 1.4.0-r1 Description =========== Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) reported two boundary errors in Imlib2: * One of them within the load() function in the file src/modules/loaders/loader_pnm.c when processing the header of a PNM image file, possibly leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. * The second one within the load() function in the file src/modules/loader_xpm.c when processing an XPM image file, possibly leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNM or XPM image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application using Imlib 2. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Imlib 2 users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/imlib2-1.4.0-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-2426 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2426 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200806-03.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.
