Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2007-0513 advisory.

 [1.2.3-20.9.el3]
 - validate bytesperline header field when loading PCX files (#247570)

 [1.2.3-20.8.el3]
 - reduce GIMP_MAX_IMAGE_SIZE to 2^18 to detect bogus image widths/heights (#247570)

 [1.2.3-20.7.el3]
 - replace gimp_error() by gimp_message()/gimp_quit() in a few plugins so they don't crash but gracefully exit when encountering error conditions
 - fix endianness issues in the PSP plugin to avoid it doing (seemingly) endless loops when loading images
 - fix endianness issues in the PCX plugin which cause it to not detect corrupt images

 [1.2.3-20.6.el3]
 - add ChangeLog entry to psd-invalid-dimensions patch (#247570)
 - validate size values read from files before using them to allocate memory in various file plugins (#247570, patch by Mukund Sivaraman and Rapha??l Quinet, adapted)
 - detect invalid image data when reading files in several plugins (#247570, patch by Sven Neumann and Rapha??l Quinet, adapted)
 - validate size values read from files before using them to allocate memory in the PSD and sunras plugins (#247570, patch by Mukund Sivaraman and Sven Neumann, partly adapted)
 - add safeguard to avoid crashes while loading corrupt PSD images (#247570, patch by Rapha??l Quinet, adapted)
 - convert spec file to UTF-8

 [1.2.3-20.5.el3]
 - use adapted upstream PSD fix by Sven Neumann (#244406)

 [1.2.3-20.4.el3]
 - refuse to open PSD files with insanely large dimensions (#244406)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected gimp, gimp-devel and / or gimp-libs packages.
