Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Two boundary errors have been identified in SDL_image allowing for the |
19 |
remote execution of arbitrary code or the crash of the application |
20 |
using the library. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
SDL_image is an image file library that loads images as SDL surfaces, |
26 |
and supports various formats like BMP, GIF, JPEG, LBM, PCX, PNG, PNM, |
27 |
TGA, TIFF, XCF, XPM, and XV. |
28 |

Affected packages |
30 |
================= |

------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
The LWZReadByte() function in file IMG_gif.c and the IMG_LoadLBM_RW() |
41 |
function in file IMG_lbm.c each contain a boundary error that can be |
42 |
triggered to cause a static buffer overflow and a heap-based buffer |
43 |
overflow. The first boundary error comes from some old vulnerable GD |
44 |
PHP code (CVE-2006-4484). |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
A remote attacker can make an application using the SDL_image library |
50 |
to process a specially crafted GIF file or IFF ILBM file that will |
51 |
trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code |
52 |
with the permissions of the application or the application crash. |
53 |
|
54 |
Workaround |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
58 |
|
59 |
Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
All SDL_image users should upgrade to the latest version: |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge --sync |
65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/sdl-image-1.2.6-r1" |
66 |
