Debian: DSA 548-1 Critical Heap Overflow Vulnerability in Imlib

Marcus Meissner discovered a heap overflow error in imlib, an imaging
library for X and X11, that could be abused by an attacker to execute
arbitrary code on the vicims machine.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.9.14-2wody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.9.14-17 of imlib and in version 1.9.14-16 of imlib+png2.
