Background ========= KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and Unix-like Operating Systems. kimgio is the KDE image handler provided by kdelibs. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 kde-base/kdelibs < 3.3.2-r8 *> = 3.2.3-r9 > = 3.3.2-r8 Description ========== kimgio fails to properly validate input when handling PCX files. Impact ===== By enticing a user to load a specially-crafted PCX image in a KDE application, an attacker could execute arbitrary code. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs References ========= [ 1 ] CAN-2005-1046 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CAN-2005-1046 [ 2 ] KDE Security Advisory: kimgio input validation errors https://kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050421-1.txt Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200504-22 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Fedora Core 1: 2004-300 Moderate: Imlib Heap Overflow Risk

Several heap overflow vulnerabilities have been found in the imlib BMPimage handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted BMP file insuch a way that it would cause an application linked with imlib toexecute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-300 2004-09-09 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 1 Name : imlib Version : 1.9.13 Release : 15.fc1 Summary : An image loading and rendering library for X11R6. Description : 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Sep 09 2004 Matthias Clasen - Security fixes --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: ... 03a77921e2efd86e0703d66de59cad1c SRPMS/imlib-1.9.13-15.fc1.src.rpm 7c819092b3f54e6fba51460f10d4d2db x86_64/imlib-1.9.13-15.fc1.x86_64.rpm 296479ab2f3ebfdb1b43c4454d881009 x86_64/imlib-devel-1.9.13-15.fc1.x86_64.rpm 5b66680b22684df822ef4f38d6e87a35 x86_64/imlib-cfgeditor-1.9.13-15.fc1.x86_64.rpm f211ba31e2b13a872d0c318b4892c624 x86_64/debug/imlib-debuginfo-1.9.13-15.fc1.x86_64.rpm 8bd4bb9bbcad02a8442edd5bd6afd8f2 i386/imlib-1.9.13-15.fc1.i386.rpm 469d4ed01e2ba0b49fdcd0fa01323052 i386/imlib-devel-1.9.13-15.fc1.i386.rpm fa26f3f2c7a877c806b675fc8de68203 i386/imlib-cfgeditor-1.9.13-15.fc1.i386.rpm 7d0d786eb8e5ea9793c2505267a2f650 i386/debug/imlib-debuginfo-1.9.13-15.fc1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- .
