Debian DSA-548-2 : imlib - unsanitised input

high Nessus Plugin ID 15385

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Marcus Meissner discovered a heap overflow error in imlib, an imaging library for X and X11, that could be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. The updated packages we have provided in DSA 548-1 did not seem to be sufficient, which should be fixed by this update.

Solution

Upgrade the imlib1 packages.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.14-2woody3.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.14-16.2.
