Background ========== KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and Unix-like Operating Systems. kimgio is the KDE image handler provided by kdelibs. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 kde-base/kdelibs < 3.3.2-r8 *>= 3.2.3-r9 >= 3.3.2-r8 Description =========== kimgio fails to properly validate input when handling PCX files. Impact ====== By enticing a user to load a specially-crafted PCX image in a KDE application, an attacker could execute arbitrary code. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-1046 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1046 [ 2 ] KDE Security Advisory: kimgio input validation errors http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050421-1.txt Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200504-22.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.
