Gentoo: GLSA-200604-10 Normal: zgv/xzgv Heap Overflow Attack

xzgv and zgv attempt to decode JPEG images within the CMYK/YCCK colour space incorrectly, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

Background ========= xzgv and zgv are picture viewing utilities with a thumbnail based file selector. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-gfx/xzgv < 0.8-r2 > = 0.8-r2 2 media-gfx/zgv < 5.8 > = 5.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ========== Andrea Barisani of Gentoo Linux discovered xzgv and zgv allocate insufficient memory when rendering images with more than 3 output components, such as images using the YCCK or CMYK colour space. When xzgv or zgv attempt to render the image, data from the image overruns a heap allocated buffer. Impact ===== An attacker may be able to construct a malicious image that executes arbitrary code with the permissions of the xzgv orzgv user when attempting to render the image. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All xzgv users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =media-gfx/xzgv-0.8-r2" All zgv users should also upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =media-gfx/zgv-5.8" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2006-1060 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200604-10 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.

Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability could allow the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.7-6woody2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.8-3. We recommend that you upgrade your xzgv package immediately.
