RHEL 2.1 / 3 : imlib (RHSA-2004:651)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 15947

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated imlib packages that fix several integer and buffer overflows are now available.

[Updated Dec 22, 2004] Added multilib packages to the Itanium, PPC, AMD64/Intel EM64T, and IBM eServer zSeries architectures for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 3.

The imlib packages contain an image loading and rendering library.

Pavel Kankovsky discovered several heap overflow flaws that were found in the imlib image handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such a way that it could 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 CVE-2004-1025 to this issue.

Additionally, Pavel discovered several integer overflow flaws that were found in the imlib image handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with imlib to execute arbitrary code or crash when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1026 to this issue.

Users of imlib should update to these updated packages, which contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to this issue.

Solution

Update the affected imlib, imlib-cfgeditor and / or imlib-devel packages.
