Ubuntu: 789-2 High: ImageMagick Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Chris Evans discovered several problems in gdk-pixbuf, the GdkPixBuf
library used in Gtk. It is possible for an attacker to execute
arbitrary code on the victims machine. Gdk-pixbuf for Gtk+1.2 is an
external package. For Gtk+2.0 it's part of the main gtk package.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the
following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2004-0753

Denial of service in bmp loader.

CAN-2004-0782

Heap-based overflow in pixbuf_create_from_xpm.

CAN-2004-0788

Integer overflow in the ico loader.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.17.0-2woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.22.0-7.

We recommend that you upgrade your gdk-pixbuf packages.
