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.
