fedora
March 18, 2005
This update fixes CAN-2005-0638, a problem in the parsing of shell
metacharacters in filenames
Summary
The xloadimage utility displays images in an X Window System window,
loads images into the root window, or writes images into a file.
Xloadimage supports many image types (including GIF, TIFF, JPEG, XPM,
and XBM).
This update fixes CAN-2005-0638, a problem in the parsing of shell
metacharacters in filenames. It also fixes bugs in handling of malformed
TIFF and PBM/PNM/PPM issues.
- use system libjpeg
- fix quoting in filenames (CAN-2005-0638)
