CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE : imlib
SUMMARY : Fix for a buffer overflow in imlib and imlib2
DATE : 2004-09-28 11:37:00
ID : CLA-2004:870
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 9, 10

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
imlib[1] and imlib2[2] are powerful image loading and rendering
libraries.

Marcus Meissner noticed that due to improper bounds checking,
imlib[3] and imlib2[4] are vulnerable to a buffer overflow when
decoding runlength-encoded bitmaps. This bug can be exploited using
a specially-crafted BMP image and could potentially allow remote code
execution when this image is decoded by the user.

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Conectiva Linux users upgrade their
packages.

IMPORTANT: all applications linked against imlib and imlib2 must be
restarted after the upgrade in order to close the vulnerabilities.
