Debian DSA-1493-2 : sdl-image1.2 - buffer overflows

critical Nessus Plugin ID 30232

Synopsis

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

Description

Several local/remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the image loading library for the Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

 - CVE-2007-6697 Gynvael Coldwind discovered a buffer overflow in GIF image parsing, which could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

 - CVE-2008-0544 It was discovered that a buffer overflow in IFF ILBM image parsing could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the sdl-image1.2 packages.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.4-1etch1. Due to a copy & paste error 'etch1' was appended to the version number instead of 'sarge1'. Since the update is otherwise technically correct, the update was not rebuilt on the buildd network.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.5-2+etch1.
