Debian DSA-549-1 : gtk+ - several vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 15386

Synopsis

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

Description

Chris Evans discovered several problems in gdk-pixbuf, the GdkPixBuf library used in Gtk. It is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victims machine. Gdk-pixbuf for Gtk+1.2 is an external package. For Gtk+2.0 it's part of the main gtk package.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following vulnerabilities :

 - CAN-2004-0782 Heap-based overflow in pixbuf_create_from_xpm.

 - CAN-2004-0783

 Stack-based overflow in xpm_extract_color.

 - CAN-2004-0788

 Integer overflow in the ico loader.

Solution

Upgrade the Gtk packages.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.2-5woody2.
