Fedora 10: 2009-7491 Moderate: Ocaml Camlimages Integer Overflow Issue

fedora
Calendar Grey September 11, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora Security Alert for ocaml-camlimages addressing a vital buffer overflow vulnerability, with comprehensive update information provided.

Summary

CamlImages is an image processing library for Objective CAML, which provides:

basic functions for image processing and loading/saving, various image file

formats (hence providing a translation facility from format to format),

and an interface with the Caml graphics library allows to display images

in the Graphics module screen and to mix them with Caml drawings

In addition, the library can handle huge images that cannot be (or can hardly

be) stored into the main memory (the library then automatically creates swap

files and escapes them to reduce the memory usage).
