Fedora 7 : tk-8.4.13-6.fc7 (2007-2564)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 27778

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Buffer overflow in the ReadImage function in generic/tkImgGIF.c in Tcl (Tcl/Tk) before 8.4.16 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via multi-frame interlaced GIF files in which later frames are smaller than the first.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected tk, tk-debuginfo and / or tk-devel packages.
