Background ========== Developer's Image Library (DevIL) is a cross-platform image library. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/devil < 1.7.7 >= 1.7.7 Description =========== Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) discovered two boundary errors within the iGetHdrHeader() function in src-IL/src/il_hdr.c. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Radiance RGBE file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All DevIL users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/devil-1.7.7" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-5262 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5262 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200903-04.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.
