Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
The GdkPixbuf library, that is also included in GTK+ 2, contains |
19 |
vulnerabilities that could lead to a Denial of Service or the |
20 |
execution of arbitrary code. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
GTK+ (the GIMP Toolkit) is a toolkit for creating graphical user |
26 |
interfaces. The GdkPixbuf library provides facilities for image |
27 |
handling. It is available as a standalone library and also packaged |
28 |
with GTK+ 2. |

Description |
45 |
=========== |
46 |
|
47 |
iDEFENSE reported a possible heap overflow in the XPM loader |
48 |
(CVE-2005-3186). Upon further inspection, Ludwig Nussel discovered two |
49 |
additional issues in the XPM processing functions : an integer overflow |
50 |
(CVE-2005-2976) that affects only gdk-pixbuf, and an infinite loop |
51 |
(CVE-2005-2975). |
52 |
|
53 |
Impact |
54 |
====== |
55 |
|
56 |
Using a specially crafted XPM image an attacker could cause an affected |
57 |
application to enter an infinite loop or trigger the overflows, |
58 |
potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. |
59 |
|
60 |
Workaround |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
64 |
|
65 |
Resolution |
66 |
========== |
67 |
|
68 |
All GTK+ 2 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
69 |
|
70 |
# emerge --sync |
71 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose x11-libs/gtk+ |
72 |
|
73 |
All GdkPixbuf users should upgrade to the latest version: |
74 |
|
75 |
# emerge --sync |
76 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-r5" |
77 |
