OpenSUSE: OPENSUSE-2005-400 Critical: Imlib Buffer Overrun Issue

Imlib is a display depth independent image loading and rendering

library. Imlib is designed to simplify and speed up the process of

loading images and obtaining X Window System drawables. Imlib

provides many simple manipulation routines which can be used for

common operations.

Install imlib if you need an image loading and rendering library for

X11R6, or if you are installing GNOME. You may also want to install

the imlib-cfgeditor package, which will help you configure Imlib.

Several heap overflow vulnerabilities have been found in the imlib BMP image handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted BMP file in such a way that it would cause an application linked with imlib to execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0817 to this issue.

Users of imlib should update to this updated package which contains backported patches and is not vulnerable to these issues.
