Synopsis: Important: pixman security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1869-1
Issue Date: 2013-12-20
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-6425
--

An integer overflow, which led to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found
in the way pixman handled trapezoids. If a remote attacker could trick an
application using pixman into rendering a trapezoid shape with specially
crafted coordinates, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly,
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
application. (CVE-2013-6425)

All applications using pixman must be restarted for this update to take
effect.
