A bug in gdk-pixbuf could crash applications such as Evolution when trying to display certain images (CVE-2007-0010)

Additionally a bug in the printer dialog prevent the correct display of all connected printers.

It was discovered that the image loading code in the GTK+ graphical user interface library performs insufficient error handling when loading malformed images, which may lead to denial of service.

Updated gtk2 packages that fix a security issue are now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The gtk2 package contains the GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for creating graphical user interfaces for the X Window System.

A bug was found in the way the gtk2 GdkPixbufLoader() function processed invalid input. Applications linked against gtk2 could crash if they loaded a malformed image file. (CVE-2007-0010)

Users of gtk2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

The GdkPixbufLoader function in GIMP ToolKit (GTK+) in GTK 2 (gtk2) allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed image file. (CVE-2007-0010)

The version of libgtk+2.0 shipped with Mandriva Linux 2007 fails various portions of the lsb-test-desktop test suite, part of LSB 3.1 certification testing.

The updated packages also address the following issues :

The Home and Desktop entries in the GTK File Chooser are not always visible (#26644).

GTK+-based applications (which includes all the Mandriva Linux configuration tools, for example) crash (instead of falling back to the default theme) when an invalid icon theme is selected. (#27013)

Additional patches from GNOME CVS have been included to address the following issues from the GNOME bugzilla :

  - 357132 &#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;- fix RGBA colormap issue

  - 359537,357280,359052 &#9;&#9;- fix various printer bugs

A flaw was discovered in the error handling of GTK's image loading library. Applications opening certain corrupted images could be made to crash, causing a denial of service.

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

A denial of service (crash) condition was fixed in the image handling routines of GTK+. This could be triggered for instance by viewing HTML emails or simiar. (CVE-2007-0010)
