Debian Security Advisory

DSA-628-1 imlib2 -- integer overflows

Date Reported:

06 Jan 2005

Affected Packages:

imlib2

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2004-1026, CVE-2004-1025.

More information:

Pavel Kankovsky discovered that several overflows found in the libXpm library were also present in imlib and imlib2, imaging libraries for X11. An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with imlib or imlib2 to execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2004-1025
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows. No such code is present in imlib2.
CAN-2004-1026
Multiple integer overflows in the imlib library.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.5-2woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your imlib2 packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
